ĐỀ GỒM 80 CÂU (TỪ CÂU ĐẾN CÂU 80)
Read the following passage and choose the right answer to each of the questions.
Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated Advocates of organic foods-a term whose mefoods-aning vfoods-aries grefoods-atly- frequently proclfoods-aim thfoods-at such products foods-are sfoods-afer foods-and more nutritious than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the foods supply is unsafe or inadequate in the meeting nutritional needs Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and formed the basic for folklore.
Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains, and the like.
One thing that most organically grown foods products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe foods. So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy expensive organic foods instead.
Question The “ welcome development” mentioned in paragraph is an increase in A interest in food safety and nutrition among North Americans.
B the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet. C the amount of healthy foods grown in North America. D the number of consumers in North America.
Question According to the first paragraph, which of the following is true about the term “organic foods”?
A It is accepted by most nutritionists. B It has been used only in recent years. C It has no fixed meaning D It is seldom used by consumers.
Question The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods because
A organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods.
B many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods. C conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods.
D too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops.
Question According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods are better than conventionally grown foods are often
A careless B mistaken C thrifty D wealthy
Question What is the author’s attitude towards the claims made by advocates of health foods? A Very enthusiastic B Skeptical C Neutral D Somewhat favourable

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

(9)difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s In the same way they learn all the other things they learn to without being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them We it all for him We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher Let him it himself Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book Let him correct his own papers Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exam, marks Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or not know.
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?” Don’t worry!

B They point out children’s mistakes to them C They allow children to mark their own work D They encourage children to copy from one another

B more important than other skills
C basically different from learning adult skills D basically the same as learning other skills
Question 54: Exams, grades and marks should be abolished because children’s progress should only be estimated by

D parents
