Education in the future Education is another area of social life in which information technology is changing the way we communicate.

Through their computers and the wonders of virtual reality they can participate in lifelike simulated experiences. Consider the following scenario of the future of education made possible through developments in information technology. For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at schools is not compulsory. Some of the older children attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or instruction from a teacher. For the most part, pupils are encouraged to work online from home. Students must complete a minimum number of study hours per year; however, they may make up these hours by studying at home at times that suit their family schedule. They can log on early or late in the day and even join live classes in other countries. In order to ensure that each student is learning adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the number of hours a week each student studies on-line as well as that students’ learning materials and assessment activities. Reports will be available for parents and teachers. The software can then identify the best learning activities and condition for each individual student and generate similar activities. It can also identify areas of weak achievement and produce special programs adjusted to the students’ needs. 1. What is the topic of the passage? A. The effect of information technology on education.

There is not real equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man-dominated society. Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women’s place was in the kitchen and women’s work was household. In many places, women were not even allowed to go to school. Women had no rights, even the right to choose a husband for them-selves. Men usually occupied high positions in society so they thought they were more intelligent and important than women. Men considered women their property. Sometimes, women were mistreated by their husbands and suffered this as a fate. Many parents did not even want to have female children. Thanks to the women’ liberation movement, women have nowadays proved that they are equal to men on every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as intelligent as him. Women can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing that no man can: they produce children. 51. In a man-dominated society _____. A. Women were in the first class B.

And since man’s inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop. Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its desiccating effects. No moist-skinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found. The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated. Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word. 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. Question 21: The title for this passage could be _____ . A. “Desert Plants” C. “Animal Life in a Desert Environment” B. “Life Underground” D. “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment” Question 22: The word “inexorable” in the passage mostly means _____ . A. relentless B. full C. demanding D. essential Question 23: Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the desert, as _____ . A. sources of flowing water are rare in a desert B. water is an essential part of his existence C. water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things D. very few large animals are found in the desert Question 24: The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT _____. A. water-loving animals large animals B. the coyote and the bobcat C. moist-skinned animals D. many VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí Question 25: According to the passage, creatures in the desert _____. A. are smaller and fleeter than forest animals B. live in an accommodating environment C. are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest D. are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world Question 26: The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals EXCEPT _____. A. they sleep during the day B. they dig home underground C. they are noisy and aggressive D. they are watchful and quiet Question 27: The word “emaciated” in the passage mostly means _____. A. wild B. cunning C. unmanageable D. unhealthy Question 28: : The word “Them” means_____. A. animals B. people C. water D. minutes Question 29: The word “burrows” in the passage mostly means _____. A. “places where insects or other small creatures live and produce their young” B. “holes or tunnels in the ground made by animals for them to live in” C. “structures made of metal bars in which animals or birds are kept” D. “places where a particular type of animal or plant is normally found” Question 30: We can infer from the passage that _____ . A. living things adjust to their environment B. water is the basis of desert life C. desert life is colorful and diverse D. healthy animals live longer lives Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from number 31 to 35 Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the 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 do 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 do 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 do 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 VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí 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 do 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! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it. Question 31: What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things? A. by copying what other people do B. by making mistakes and having them corrected C. by listening to explanations from skilled people D. by asking a great many questions Question 32: What does the author think teachers do which they should not do? A. They give children correct answers 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 Question 33: The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are A. not really important skills B. more important than other skills C. basically different from learning adult skills D. basically the same as learning other skills Question 34: Exams, grades and marks should be abolished because children’s progress should only be estimated by___. A. educated persons B. the children themselves C. teachers D. parents Question 35: The author fears that children will grow up into adults who are_____. A. too independent of others B. too critical of themselves C. unable to think for themselves D. unable to use basic skills Choose the word whose stress pattern is different from the others Question 36: A. contents B. dismal C. discontent D. decent Question 37: A. hygiene B. appointment Question 38: A. competence B. comfortable C. compliment D. companion Question 39: A. delicious B. theory C. attractive D. alleviate Question 40: A. inevitable B. innovate C. innocent D. insecticide C. remember D. neglect 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 meaning varies greatly- frequently proclaim that such products are safer 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 VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí 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 41 The “ welcome development” mentioned in paragraph 2 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 42. According to the first paragraph, which of the following is true about the term “organic foods”? A. It is accepted by most nutritionists. C. It has no fixed meaning B. It has been used only in recent years. D. It is seldom used by consumers. Question 43. 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 44. 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 45. What is the author’s attitude towards the claims made by advocates of health foods? A. Very enthusiastic B. Skeptical C. Neutral D. Somewhat favorable Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks. VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí Interpreting the feelings of other people is not always easy, as we all know, and we (46) _____ as much on what they seem to be telling us, as on the actual words they say. Facial (47) _____ and tone of voice are obvious ways of showing our (48) _____ to something, and it may well be that we unconsciously express views that we are trying to hide.

Body movements in general may also indicate feelings, and interviewers often pay particular attention to the way a candidate for a job walks into the room and sits down. However it is not difficult to present the right kind of appearance, while what many employers want to know relates to the candidate’s character traits, and (51) _____ stability. This raises the awkward question of whether job candidates should be asked to complete psychological tests, and the further problem of whether such tests actually produce (52) _____ results. For many people, being asked to take part in such a test would be an objectionable (53) _____ into their private lives. After all, a prospective employer would hardly ask a candidate to run a hundred meters, or expect his or her family doctor to provide (54) _____ medical information.

Although my parents are very busy with their work, they always try to spend much time for the family. My mother is a caring person. She always gets up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for everyone. My dad is always happy to give a hand with the housework such as cooking meals or cleaning the floor. Because I am in grade 12 and I will have taken the national exam by the end of June, my parents let me have a lot of time for my study. However, I always try to help my mom and dad with the household chores. My main responsibility is taking out the garbage, washing the dishes after meals and helping my younger sister with her study when I have time. We are a close-knit family and we always share our feeling, happiness, or sadness with each other. I love my family so much. -------------THE END------------ VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí MÃ ĐỀ 004 MÃ ĐỀ 004 1 A 41 A 2 B 42 C 3 B 43 A 4 A 44 B 5 A 45 B 6 D 46 B 7 C 47 C 8 A 48 D 9 B 49 D 10 C 50 B 11 D 51 A 12 A 52 A 13 A 53 C 14 C 54 A 15 D 55 D 16 C 56 B 17 D 57 C 18 D 58 A 19 B 59 A 20 B 60 A 21 C 61 A 22 A 62 D 23 B 63 D 24 B 64 D 25 A 26 C 27 D 28 A 29 B 30 A 31 A 32 B 33 D 34 B VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí 35 C 36 C 37 A 38 D 39 B 40 A SỞ GD&ĐT VĨNH PHÚC ĐỀ THI THỬ THPT QUỐC GIA NĂM 2015 TRƯỜNG THPT LIỄN SƠN MÔN THI: TIẾNG ANH (ĐỀ LUYỆN 242) Thời gian: 90 phút PHẦN TRẮC NGHIỆM: (8 điểm) I.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí To a European, money means power, the freedom to do as he likes, which also means that, consciously or unconsciously, he says: “I want to have as much money as possible myself and others to have as little money as possible.” In the United States, wealth was also acquired by stealing, but the real exploited victim was not a human being but poor Mother Earth and her creatures who were ruthlessly plundered. It is true that the Indians were expropriated or exterminated, but this was not, as it has always been in Europe, a matter of the conqueror seizing the wealth of the conquered, for the Indian had never realized the potential riches of his country. It is also true that, in the Southern states, men lived on the labor of slaves, but slave labor did not make them fortunes; what made slavery in the South all the more inexcusable was that, in addition to being morally wicked, it didn’t even pay off handsomely. Thanks to the natural resources of the country, every American, until quite recently, could reasonably look forward to making more money than his father, so that, if he made less, the fault must be his; he was either lazy or inefficient. What an American values, therefore, is not the possession of money as such, but his power to make it as proof of his manhood; once he has proved himself by making it, it has served its function and can be lost or given away. In no society in history have rich men given away so large a part of their fortunes. A poor American feels guilty at being poor, but less guilty than an American renter who had inherited wealth but is doing nothing to increase it; what can the latter do but take to drink and psychoanalysis? Question 26: Which of the following can be concluded from the first paragraph? A. Money is made either consciously or unconsciously. B. Those who have a lot of money enjoy real freedom. C. Some European acquire money and power without even being conscious of it. D. Some people not only want to get rich but wish others to be poor. Question 27: To an American, money means ___________. A. proof of ability and manhood B. "proof of ability and manhood" and "diligence and efficiency" C. diligence and efficiency D. The freedom to do whatever he likes Question 28: The author seems to believe that the natural resources in the U.S. are _________. A. rich B. on the increase C. poor D. limited Question 29: In the passage, the word “fortunes” (Paragraphs 2 and 3) is used twice. What does it mean? A. good opportunities B. power C. wealth D. luck Question 30: In the author’s opinion, an American renter __________.

Psychologists are interested in the reasons why some people like taking part in risky sports. When they studied people who were learning to jump from a plane with a parachute, they found that parachutists’ bodies produced large amounts of two hormones, adrenaline and nor adrenaline, just before they made their jump. These hormones help to prepare us for any sudden activity. Adrenaline increases the heart rate and provides more sugar for the muscles, while nor does adrenaline make us react more quickly. However, nor adrenaline also stimulates apart of the brain which controls feelings of pleasure. Some psychologists have concluded that it is a feeling of pleasure caused by this hormone which makes certain people want to participate in dangerous sports. Another possible reason is the level of arousal in part of the brain. According to some psychologists, the brain tries to maintain a certain level of arousal. They believe that people who normally have a low level of arousal look for excitement and new experiences in order to stimulate themselves, whereas people who usually have a high level of arousal try to avoid risks and unfamiliar situations in order not to become overexcited. If the psychologists are right, people with a low arousal are the ones who enjoy participating in dangerous sports and activities.
