pts) Choose the item (A, B, C, or D) that best completes the unfinished statement about the passage PASSAGE A (20 pts) Because the low latitudes of the Earth, the areas near the equator, receive more heat than the latitude near the poles, and because the nature of heart is to expand and move, Heat is transported from the tropics to the middle and high latitudes Some of this heat is moved by winds and some by ocean currents, and some gets stored in the atmosphere in the form of latent heat The term “latent hear” refers to the energy that has to be used to convert liquid water to water vapor We know that if we warm a pan of water on a stove, it will evaporate, or turn into vapor, faster than if it is allowed to sit at room temperature We also know that if we hang wet clothes outside in the summertime they will dry faster than in winter, when temperatures are colder The energy used in both cases to change liquid water to water vapor is supplied by heat – supplied by the stove in the first case and by the Sun in the latter case This energy is not lost It is stored in water vapor in the atmosphere as latent heat Eventually, the water stored as vapor in the atmosphere will condense to liquid again, and the energy will be release to the atmosphere In the atmosphere, a large portion of the Sun’s incoming energy is used to evaporate water, primarily in the tropical oceans Scientists have tried to quantify this proportion of the Sun’s energy By analyzing temperature, water vapor, and wind data around the globe, they have estimated the quantity to be about 90 watts per square meter, or nearly 30 percent of the Sun’s energy Once this latent heat is stored within the atmosphere, it can be transported, primarily to higher latitudes, by prevailing, large-scale winds Or it can be transported vertically to higher levels in the atmosphere, where it forms clouds and subsequent storms, which then release the energy back to the atmosphere The passage mainly discussed how heat A is transformed and transported in the Earth’s atmosphere B is transported by ocean currents C can be measured and analyzed by scientists D moves about the Earth’s equator The passage mentions that the tropics differ from the Earth’s polar regions in which of the following ways? A The height of cloud formation in the atmosphere B The amount of heat they receive from the Sun C The strength of their large scale winds D The strength of their oceanic currents The word “convert” in line is closest in meaning to _ A mix B change C adapt D reduce Why does the author mention “the stove” in line 9? A To describe the heat of the Sun B To illustrate how water vapor is stored C To show how energy is stored D To give an example of a heat source According to the passage, most ocean water evaporation occurs especially _ A around the higher latitudes B in the tropics C because of largescale winds D because of strong ocean currents According to the passage, 30 percent of the Sun’s incoming energy A is stored in clouds in the lower latitudes B is transported by ocean currents C never leaves the upper atmosphere D gets stored as latent heat The word “it” in line 17 refers to A square meter B the Sun’s energy C latent heat D the atmosphere The word “primarily” in line 17 is closest in meaning to _ A chiefly B originally C basically D clearly The word “prevailing” in line 18 is closest in meaning to _ A essential B dominant C circular D closest 10 All of the following words are defined in the passage EXCEPT A low latitudes (line 1) B latent heat (line 4) C evaporate (line 6) D atmosphere (line 13) PASSAGE B (20 pts) Diffusion, the process of introducing cultural elements from one society into another, occurs in three basic patterns: direct contact, intermediate contact, and stimulus diffusion In direct contact, elements of a society’s culture may be adopted first by neighboring societies and then gradually spread farther afield The spread of the manufacture of paper is an example of extensive diffusion by direct contact The invention of paper is attributed to the Chinese Ts’ai Lun in A.D 105 Within fifty years, paper was being made in many places in central China By 264 it was found in Chinese Turkmenistan, and from then on the successive places of manufacture were Samarkand (751), Baghdad (793), Egypt (about 900), Morocco (about 1100), and France (1189) In general, the pattern of accepting the borrowed invention was the same everywhere Paper was first imported into each area as a luxury, then in ever-expanding quantities as a staple product Finally, usually within one to three centuries, local manufacture started Diffusion by intermediated contact occurs through the agency of third parties Frequently, traders carry a cultural trait from the society that originated it to another group As an example of diffusion through intermediaries, Phoenician traders spread the alphabet, which may have been invented by another Semitic group, to Greece At times, soldiers serve as intermediaries in spreading a culture trait During the Middle Ages, European soldiers acted as intermediaries in two ways: they carried European culture to Arab societies of North Africa and brought Arab culture back to Europe In the nineteenth century Western missionaries brought Western-style clothing to such places as Africa and the Pacific islands In stimulus diffusion, knowledge of a trait belonging to another culture stimulates the invention or development of a local equivalent A classic example of stimulus diffusion is the creation of the Cherokee syllabic writing system by a Native American named Sequoya Sequoya got the idea from his contact with the English; yet he did not adopt the writing system nor did he even learn to write English He utilized some English alphabetic symbols, altered others, and invented new ones All the symbols he used represented Cherokee syllables and had a distinctly Cherokee form 11 The passage mainly discusses how _ A cultures retain their unique characteristics B cultural elements transfer from one culture to another C paper came into general use D economies grew through trade and manufacturing 12 The word “attributed” in line is closest in meaning to A credited B presented C promised D limited 13 The word “successive” in line is closest in meaning to A specialized B principal C prosperous D subsequent 14 The word “it” in line 13 refers to A diffusion B contact C trait D society 15 According to the passage, a change that occurred in Africa and the Pacific islands as a result of the arrival of missionaries was _ A an increase in the presence of soldiers B variation in local style of dressing C the manufacture of paper D the introduction of new alphabetical systems 16 In stating that the Cherokee writing system is a classic example, the author means that this example is especially _ A representativeB understandable C difficult D old 17 What did Sequoya do? A Adopt the English writing system for use in Cherokee B Study English intensively in order to learn to write itC Teach English to Cherokee Native Americans D Create a Cherokee writing system based on elements of the English alphabet 18 The origins of the Greek and Cherokee writing systems were discussed in the passage because both systems _ A underwent identical patterns of development in different parts of the world B influenced the development of alphabets of other languages C represented distinct ways in which elements could be introduced into a culture D were introduced by religious missionaries 19 Which of the following statements about direct contact, intermediate contact, and stimulus diffusion is NOT true?

In the week leading up to the wedding there is a dinner or some forms of celebration every day- training for stomach I guess I know that we have the traditional Bachelor party and Bachelorette party, but this is more family orientated and certainly a little less rowdy This particular ceremony was in a beautiful country church and afterwards the couple were driven to the reception in a wonderfully decorated classic Fiat 500, which was really similar to what happens in the UK, even down to the string of tin cans trailing behind the car! The reception itself was also very similar until I realized that the seven tables in the hall each sat sixty guests (that’s four hundred and twenty, for those of you who didn’t study Math), an average number for Sardinia but would be considered a very large wedding where I’m from The wine flowed, as did the chatter – the famous Italian exuberance showing itself to the full There were the five or six courses of wonderful food, screaming kids running wild, the ceremonial cutting of the cake by the bride and groom – but no speeches! Not one In the Uk it’s traditional for the father of the bride to propose a toast Followed by the groom and finishing up with that of the best man His is meant to be the highlight of the lunch/ dinner, generally having a good laugh at the groom’s expense, but here the groom was spared that particular discomfort Instead there was a delightful custom which I’d never seen before, in which six or seven of the male guests pass round the hall banging trays, drums, pots, pans or basically anything that makes a horrendous noise, selling pieces of the groom’s tie which has been cut into tiny bits The money raised is then given to the happy (!)couple to help them set up their new life together Really nice Finally, the evening saw a lot of traditional dancing, a little disco dancing and some karaoke Pretty much the part I like best, and again I wasn’t disappointed Can’t wait for the next one 66 …………………… The writer generally likes weddings 67 …………………… He didn’t particularly enjoy the Sardinian one 68 …………………… The families helped the caterers to prepare the food 69 …………………… There is usually a dinner the night before the wedding 70 …………………… The groom meets the bride outside the church 71 ………………………UK wedding receptions are often a lot smaller than Sardinian ones 72 …………………… The writer found it hard to understand the speeches 73 ………………………The staff of the reception hall cut the cake for the guests 74 ………………………There is an auction to sell the groom’s tie 75 ……………………….The money from this hepls to pay for the reception D WRITING I Rewrite the following sentences without changing the meaning (5× 0,2 = 1,0 pt) You won’t get into university without passing your exam Unless…………………………………………………………………………………… Both Jean and my sister can nothing to help him Neither…………………………………………………………………………………… He is said to have been in the French Foreign Legion People…………………………………………………………………………………… I regret selling the car I wish……………………………………………………………………………… Bob is a much better swimmer than George -> George can’t…………………………………………………………………… II Rewrite each sentence so that it contains the word in capitals and so that the meaning stays the same (5× 0,2 = 1,0 pt) People say that the couple are living in London (SAID) ……………………………………………………………………………………….…… “Can I borrow your calculator?” Mandy said (IF) …………………………………………………………………………………………… It is difficult for me to read without my glasses (FIND) …………………………………………………………………………………………… Unless he changes his way of living, he’ll meet a lot of troubles (IF) …………………………………………………………………………………………… It’s over six months since Long last had his hair cut (FOR) …………………………………………………………………………………………… III In about 200 words, write about advantages and disadvantages of television (3,0 pts) …………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………… …. - BỘ ĐỀ ÔN TẬPĐỀ THI HSG LỚP Môn : Tiếng Anh Đề số :14 Thời gian làm bài:150 ph (không kể thời gian giao đề) Đề thi có trang (Thí sinh không sử dụng từ điển ) I PHONETICS: a Choose one word that has the underlined part pronounced differently from the others by circling A, B, C, or D: (3 0,2 = 0,6 pt) A nurse A rays A leaf B bury B bays B knife C hurt C days C café D curly D says D of b Choose the word whose stress pattern is different from the others by circling A, B, C, or D: (3 0,2 = 0,6 pt) A industry B interest A medicine B decide A arrangement B relationship C suburb C distance C scientist D equality D patient D improve II VOCABULARY AND GRAMMAR: a Circle the best answer A, B, C or D to complete the sentences: (20 pts) 0,2 = 4,0 We usually write to each other ……… A every two weeks B every week twice C two every week D none is correct If you look ……… the book, you can find what you need A at B for C up D through Do you think we’ll find a solution ……… the problem?

in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language Human beings have been writing (as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) for at least 5,000 years; but they have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write; any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk: a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing so On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write In the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills so only imperfectly To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to disparage the latter One advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes possible the records that any civilization must have Thus, if speaking makes us human, writing makes us civilized 61 We sometimes think of writing as more real than speech because A it has become very important in our culture B people have been writing since there have been human beings C writing is secondary to language D human beings have been writing for at least 5,000 years 62 The author of the passage argues that A writing has become too important in today’s society B speech is more basic to language than writing C everyone who learns to speak must learn to write D all languages should have a written form 63 In the author’s judgment, A writing has more advantages than speech B speech is essential but writing has important benefits C speech conveys ideas less accurately than writing does D writing is more real than speech 64 Which of the following is NOT true?
