It can be colored or colorless, monochrome or polychrome, transparent, translucent, or opaque. It is lightweight impermeable to liquids, readily cleaned and reused, durable yet fragile, and often very beautiful Glass can be decorated in multiple ways and its optical properties are exceptional. In all its myriad forms - as table ware, containers, in architecture and design - glass represents a major achievement in the history of technological developments. Since the Bronze Age about 3,000 B.C., glass has been used for making various kinds of objects. It was first made from a mixture of silica, line and an alkali such as soda or potash, and these remained the basic ingredients of glass until the development of lead glass in the seventeenth century. When heated, the mixture becomes soft and malleable and can be formed by various techniques into a vast array of shapes and sizes. The homogeneous mass thus formed by melting then cools to create glass, but in contrast to most materials formed in this way (metals, for instance), glass lacks the crystalline structure normally associated with solids, and instead retains the random molecular structure of a liquid. In effect, as molten glass cools, it progressively stiffens until rigid, but does so without setting up a network of interlocking crystals customarily associated with that process. This is why glass shatters so easily when dealt a blow. Why glass deteriorates over time, especially when exposed to moisture, and why glassware must be slowly reheated and uniformly cooled after manufacture to release internal stresses induced by uneven cooling. VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí Another unusual feature of glass is the manner in which its viscosity changes as it turns from a cold substance into a hot, ductile liquid. Unlike metals that flow or "freeze" at specific temperatures glass progressively softens as the temperature rises, going through varying stages of malleability until it flows like thick syrup. Each stage of malleability allows the glass to be manipulated into various forms, by different techniques, and if suddenly cooled the object retains the shape achieved at that point. Glass is thus amenable to a greater number of heat-forming techniques than most other materials. Question 21. Why does the author list the characteristics of glass in lines 1-5? A. To demonstrate how glass evolved B. To show the versatility of glass C. To explain glassmaking technology D. To explain the purpose of each component of glass Question 22. The word "durable"' in line 3 is closest in meaning to_____. A. lasting B. delicate C. heavy D. Plain Question 23. What does the author imply about the raw materials used to make glass? A. They were the same for centuries. B. They are liquid C. They are transparent D. They are very heavy. Question 24. According to the passage, how is glass that has cooled and become rigid different from most other rigid substances? A. It has an interlocking crystal network. B. It has an unusually low melting temperature. C. It has varying physical properties. D. It has a random molecular structure. Question 25. The word "customarily" in line 16 is closest in meaning to_____. A. naturally B. necessarily C. usually D. certainly Question 26. The words "exposed to" in line 18 are closest in meaning to_____. A. hardened by B. chilled with C. subjected to D. deprived of Question 27. What must be done to release the internal stresses that build up in glass products during manufacture? A. the glass must be reheated and evenly cooled. B. B. the glass must be cooled quickly. C. The glass must be kept moist until cooled. D. The glass must be shaped to its desired form immediately Question 28. The word "induced" in line 20 is closest in meaning to_____. A. joined B. missed C. caused D. lost Question 29. The word "it" in line 21 refers to_____. A. feature B. glass C. manner D. viscosity Question 30. According to the passage, why can glass be more easily shaped into specific forms than can metals VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí A. It resists breaking when heated B. B. It has better optical properties. C. It retains heat while its viscosity changes. D. It gradually becomes softer as its temperature rises.

A B C D Read the following passage on commuting, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 6 to 15. Commuting is the practice of travelling a long distance to a town or city to work each day, and then travelling home again in the evening. The word commuting comes from commutation ticket, a US rail ticket for repeated journeys, called a season ticket in Britain. Regular travellers are called commuters. The US has many commuters. A few, mostly on the East Coast, commute by train or subway, but most depend on the car. Some leave home very early to avoid the traffic jams, and sleep in their cars until their office opens. Many people accept a long trip to work so that they can live in quiet bedroom communities away from the city, but another reason is ‘white flight’. In the 1960s most cities began to desegregate their schools, so that there were no longer separate schools for white and black children. Many white families did not want to send their children to desegregated schools, so they moved to the suburbs, which have their own schools, and where, for various reasons, few black people live. Millions of people in Britain commute by car or train. Some spend two or three hours a day travelling, so that they and their families can live in suburbia or in the countryside. Cities are surrounded by commuter belts. Part of the commuter belt around London is called the stockbroker belt because it contains houses where rich business people live. Some places are becoming dormitory towns, because people sleep there but take little part in local activities. VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí Most commuters travel to and from work at the same time, causing the morning and evening rush hours, when buses and trains are crowded and there are traffic jams on the roads. Commuters on trains rarely talk to each other and spend their journey reading, sleeping or using their mobile phones, though this is not popular with other passengers. Increasing numbers of people now work at home some days of the week, linked to their offices by computer, a practice called telecommuting. Cities in both Britain and the US are trying to reduce the number of cars coming into town each day. Some companies encourage car pooling (called car sharing in Britain), an arrangement for people who live and work near each other to travel together. Some US cities have a public service that helps such people to contact each other, and traffic lanes are reserved for car-pool vehicles. But cars and petrol/gas are cheap in the US, and many people prefer to drive alone because it gives them more freedom. In Britain many cities have park-and-ride schemes, car parks on the edge of the city from which buses take drivers into the centre. (Extracted from Oxford Guide to British and American Culture, Oxford University Press, 2000) Question 46: Which of the following definitions of commuting would the author of this passage most probably agree with? A. Travelling to work and then home again in a day within a rural district. B. Travelling for hours from a town or city to work in the countryside every day. C. Regularly travelling a long distance between one’s place of work and one’s home. D. Using a commutation ticket for special journeys in all seasons of the year. Question 47: The word “repeated” in paragraph 1 most probably means______. A. buying a season ticket again. C. saying something again. B. happening again and again. D. doing something once again. Question 48: The passage mentions that many Americans are willing to travel a long distance to work in order to be able to live in ______. A. quiet neighbourhoods B. comfortable bedrooms C. city centres D. noisy communities Question 49: Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. The US has considerably more commuters than Britain. B. Commuting helps people in the US and Britain save a lot of time. C. Britain has considerably more commuters than the US. D. Both the US and Britain have a great number of commuters. Question 50: Which of the following is NOT true about the London commuter belt? A. It surrounds London. B. It is in central London. C. It is home to some wealthy business people. D. It is like “bedroom communities” in the US.

Improving health is always a prior task in one’s daily routine. And the simplest, cheapest, but the most effective way to better one’s health is doing regular exercise. One advantage of doing exercise is to reduce stress. People who exercise are likely to feel more relaxed, healthier, and of course happier. Doing regular exercise helps the body produce happy chemicals that make the exercisers reduce the worries about life and work as well as forget the boredom and unhappiness. Another benefit exercising brings us is that we will feel more energetic to face and overcome our daily difficulties. Doing exercise helps us reduce the possibilities of being ill, protects us from some fatal diseases as heart disease, cancers and diabetes. Regular exercisers are believed to have healthier, happier and longer lives. The other good thing is that doing exercise helps us feel more self-confident. We know exactly what we can do or what abilities, talents we have. We will think positively, do confidently, and lead an optimistic life if we practice exercising regularly. Controlling our weight effectively is another value. Perspiration occurs when we exercise, which helps our bodies get rid of bad things inside. Fats are burnt during our practicing exercise, which helps us to keep fit. To sum up, doing exercise enables people to have good body-buildings, keep fit and brings exercisers many benefits. Sparing time doing exercise will ensure us a longer, healthier and happier life. --------------THE END-------------- VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí SỞ GD&ĐT VĨNH PHÚC ĐỀ THI THỬ THPT QUỐC GIA NĂM 2015 TRƯỜNG THPT LIỄN SƠN MÔN THI: TIẾNG ANH (ĐỀ LUYỆN 260) Thời gian: 90 phút PHẦN TRẮC NGHIỆM: (8 điểm) Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions Question 1: We _____ for three hours and are very tired.

TOPIC: Write about a sporting event you saw recently. Last Sunday at our school football field, a friendly football match was held. Our school Female Students’ Football Team played against the neighboring school’s one. It was a really nice Sunday morning then. The football field where the match took place was previously well-decorated. Red flags could be seen along the roads from our school gate passing the school play-ground to the gym then to the football ground, together with numerous slogans, posters, and of course pictures of the two teams and individual players. Then came the most important moment of the day when the two teams entered the field from the changing rooms, following the two headmasters of the two schools, and the referees. Spectators all burst into applauses to welcome the players. As soon as the game began, spectators started cheering and shouting for one side or the other. Others sang and danced, some even called out the players’ names with love and pride. The crowd kept discussing and commentating happily. On the first half, our team played much better to score two goal to lead the guest. The football field seemed to be filled with applauses and bravos when the first and then the second goal were scored by the two different home strikers. The players of the two teams played so well that it made spectators forget the time as the referee blew his whistle to finish the first half. When the second half came the guest players played much better and scored a goal. The players still played enthusiastically but no more goal was scored. The match ended with the winning score of 2-1 for the home team. VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí It was a very happy weekend day for us all and it was, in my opinion, the best game I have ever watched.

Several new types of automobile engines have already been developed than run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is the only zeroemission option presently available. Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys. As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public charging VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí facilities will need to be as common as today’s gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars. Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today.

In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a short burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word “radar”, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging”. “Ranging” is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms. Câu 51: What is the main topic of this passage? A. The nature of radar. B. History of radar. C. Alternatives to radar. D. Types of ranging.

There have existed debates whether arts be taught in high schools. People who support the ideals find it necessary that high school students know as much about arts as possible. In contrast, the protestors think teaching arts to high school students is really a waste of time and money. It is generally said by the supporters that studying arts benefits high school students several ways. The first good thing is that arts help students have background knowledge of not only the nation but the world cultures and history. Another benefit is that arts equip students with many necessary skills such as; creative thinking, observing, problem solving, and critical thinking. People who want arts to be taught to high school students also agree that arts are very fun and interesting to learn. We can say in other words arts are attractive to any learners. The other advantage of arts is that learning arts help students to build team spirit and community as art activities can be done in groups. Moreover, arts enable students to socialize and students become more and more civilized and responsible. In contrast, protestors believe that there is not enough time for teachers to cover all kinds of subjects at school. So they should focus on core subjects like Maths, foreign languages and physics, etc. to save time and money arts should only be elective, not compulsory subjects. Furthermore, students can learn more about arts via media and arts are then their leisure activities. Additionally, arts, in the protestors’ opinion, should be taught by parents as they may understand their children’s ability and talents better. To conclude, there are different opinions that arts should or shouldn’t be taught in high schools. Each side has reasonable explanations to convince and prove the points of view. For me, we can hardly be civilized without knowledge of arts. Sooner or later, in my opinion, arts should be taught to students to help them enrich their knowledge, to discover their talents to better their own lives. -------------THE END--------------SỞ GD&ĐT VĨNH PHÚC ĐỀ THI THỬ THPT QUỐC GIA NĂM 2015 TRƯỜNG THPT LIỄN SƠN MÔN THI: TIẾNG ANH (ĐỀ LUYỆN 271) Thời gian: 90 phút PHẦN TRẮC NGHIỆM: (8 điểm) Reading the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct:
