others are severe over times of coming home at night, punctuality for meals or personal cleanliness In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness and well-being With regard to the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept" If they are hypocritical and not practise what they preach, their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been, to some extent, deceived A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' ethics and their morals can be a dangerous disillusion Question 20: The practice of the rule "Example is better than precept" A only works when the children grow old enough to think for themselves B will free a child from disillusion when he grows up C is too difficult for all parents to exercise D would help avoid the necessity for ethics and morals Question 21: The word ‘imposed’ in the 3rd paragraph is closest in meaning to A introduced B made C excepted D constrained Question 22: The word ‘zest’ in the 2nd paragraph can be best replaced by A enthusiasm B enjoyment C excitement D appetite Question 23: The phrase ‘conforming to’ in the 2nd paragraph means A agreeing with B following C adapting to D accepting Question 24: The principle underlying all treatment of developmental difficulties in children A is to capture them before they are sufficiently experienced B is to send them to clinics © Đỗ Bình – THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc – www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 2/5 C is in the provision of clockwork toys and trains D offers recapture of earlier experiences Question 25: The encouragement of children to achieve new skills A can never be taken too far B should be balanced and moderate C should be focused on only at school D will always assist their development Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word(s) OPPOSITE in meaning to the underlined word(s) in each of the following questions Question 26: We paid through the nose to get the car fixed and it still doesn't go properly A spent too much B charge highC pay too much money for D haggle Question 27: The seven cities of Troy excavated gave new meaning to the remains of ancient peoples A burned down B dug up C concealed D buried Choose the best option A, B, C or D to complete the passage Mark your choice on the answer sheet No educational medium better serves as a means of spatial communication than the atlas Atlases deal with such invaluable information as population distribution and density One of the best, Pennycooke's World Atlas, has been widely accepted as a standard owing to the quality of its maps and photographs, which not only show various settlements but also portray them in a variety of scales In fact, the very first map in the atlas is a cleverly designed population cartogram that projects the size of each country if geographical size were proportional to population Following the proportional layout, a sequence of smaller maps shows the world's population density, each country's birth and death rates, population increase or decrease, industrialization, urbanization, gross national product in term of per capita income, the quality of medical care, literacy, and language To give readers a perspective on how their own country fits in with the global view, additional projections depict the world's patterns in nutrition, calorie and protein consumption, health care, number of physicians per unit of population, and life expectancy by region Population density maps on a subcontinental scale, as well as political maps, convey the diverse demographic phenomena of the world in a broad array of scales Question 28: What is the main topic of this passage?
