there was no way to prevent spoilage But in 1810 a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking – and sealing process of canning And in the 1850’s an American named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk Canned goods and condensed milk became more common during the 1860’s but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand By 1880, however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that mass- produced cans from tinplate Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year Other trends and invention had also helped it possible for Americans to vary their daily diets Growing urban populations created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce Railroad refrigerator cars enabled growers and meat packers to ship perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods Thus, by the 1890’s, northern city dwellers could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for a month at most, for up to six months of the year In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables An easy means of producing ice commercially had been invented in the 1870’s, and by 1900 the nation had more than two thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries The icebox became a fixture in most homes and remained so until mechanized refrigerator replaced it in 1920’s and 1930’s Almost everyone had a more diversified diet Some people continued to eat mainly foods that were heavy in starches or carbohydrates, and not everyone could afford meat Nevertheless, many families could take advantage of previously unavailable fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to achieve more varied fare Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss? A Causes of food spoilage B Commercial production of ice C Inventions that led to changes in the American diet D Population movements in the nineteenth century Question 37: The word “prevent” is closest in meaning to _ A estimate B avoid C correct D confine Question 38: During the 1860’s, canned food products were _ A unavailable in rural areas B shipped in refrigerator cars C available in limited quantities D a staple part of the American diet Question 39: It can be inferred that railroad refrigerator cars came into use _ A before 1860 B before 1890 C after 1900 D after 1920 Question 40: The word “them” in paragraph refers to _ A refrigerator cars B perishables C growers D distances Question 41: The author implies that in 1920’s and 1930’s home deliveries of ice _ A decreased in number B were on an irregular schedule C increased in cost D occurred only in the summer Question 42: Which of the following types of food preservation was NOT mentioned in the passage? A Drying B Canning C Cold storage D Chemical additive Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on the answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50 The word laser was coined as an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulation Emission of Radiation Ordinary light, from the Sun or a light bulb, is emitted spontaneously, when atoms or molecules get rid of excess energy by themselves, without any outside intervention Stimulated emission is different because it occurs when an atom or molecule holding onto excess energy has been stimulated to emit it as light Albert Einstein was the first to suggest the existence of stimulated emission in a paper published in 1917 However, for many years physicists thought that atoms and molecules always were much more likely to emit light spontaneously and that stimulated emission thus always would be much weaker It was not until after the Second World War that physicists began trying to make stimulated emission dominate They sought ways by which one atom or molecule could stimulate many other to emit light, amplifying it try much higher powers The first to succeed was Charles H Townes, then at Columbia University in New York Instead of working with light, however, he worked with microwaves which have a much longer wavelength, by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation Although he thought of the key idea in 1951, the first maser was not completed until a couple of years later Before long, many other physicists were building masers and trying to discover how to produce stimulated emission at even shorter wavelengths The key concepts emerged about 1957 Townes and Arthur Schawlow, then at Bell Telephone Laboratories, wrote a long paper outlining the conditions needed to amplify stimulated emission, of visible light waves At about the same time, similar ideas crystallized in the mind of Gordon Gould, then a 37-year- old graduate student at Columbia, who wrote them down in a series of notebooks Townes and Schawlow published their ideas to a scientific journal Physical Review Letters, but Gould filed patent application Three decades latter, people still argue about who deserves the credit for the concept of the laser Question 43; The word “coined” in line could best be replaced by A created B mentioned C understood D discovered D atom Question 44: The word “it” in line refers to A light bulb B energy C molecule Question 45: Which of the following statements best describes a laser? A A device for stimulating atoms and molecules to emit light B An atom in a high-energy state C A technique for destroying atoms or molecules D An instrument for measuring light waves Question 46: Why was Towne’s early work with stimulated emission done with microwave? A He was not concerned with light amplification B It was easier to work with longer wavelengths C His partner Schawlow had already begun work on the laser D The laser had already been developed Question 47: In his research at Columbia University, Charles Townes worked with all of the following EXCEPT A stimulated emission B microwave C light amplification D a maser Question 48: In approximately what year was the first maser built? A 1917 B 1951 C 1953 D 1957 Question 49:The word “outlining” in line 16 is closet in meaning to A assigning B studying C checking D summarizing Question 50: Why people stilt argue about who deserves the credit for the concept of the laser? A The researchers’ notebooks were lost B Several people were developing the idea at the same time C No one claimed credit for the development until recently D The work is still incomplete ĐÁP ÁN ĐỀ 2- ĐỀ THI ĐỀ XUẤT KỲ THI THPT QUỐC GIA 2017 Bài thi: Khoa học xã hội; môn: TIẾNG ANH D A C C C D B A D 10 B 11 D 12 B 13 A 14 D 15 D 16 D 17 B 18 D 19 A 20 A 21 D 22 C 23 D 24 A 25 B 26 D 27 A 28 B 29 C 30 B 31 A 32 B 33 D 34 A 35 B 36 C 37 B 38 C 39 B 40 B 41 A 42 D 43 A 44 B 45 A 46 B 47 C 48 C 49 D 50 B ... recently D The work is still incomplete ĐÁP ÁN ĐỀ 2- ĐỀ THI ĐỀ XUẤT KỲ THI THPT QUỐC GIA 2017 Bài thi: Khoa học xã hội; môn: TIẾNG ANH D A C C C D B A D 10 B 11 D 12...
