Babylonia and Egypt constructed systems of dams and canals to impound the flood waters of the Euphrates

and Nile rivers, controlling floods and providing irrigation water throughout the dry season Such irrigation canals also supplied water for domestic purposes The first people to consider the sanitation of their water supply were the ancient Romans, who constructed a vast system of aqueducts to bring the clean waters of the

Apennine Mountains into the city and built basins and filters along these mains to ensure the clarity of the

water The construction of such extensive water-supply systems declined when the Roman Empire disintegrated, and for several centuries local springs and wells formed the main source of domestic and industrial water

The invention of the force pump in England in the middle of the 16th century greatly extended the possibilities of development of water-supply systems In London, the first pumping waterworks was completed in 1562; it pumped river water to a reservoir about 37 m above the level of the River Thames and

from the reservoir the water was distributed by gravity, through lead pipes, to buildings in the vicinity

Increased per-capita demand has coincided with water shortages in many countries Southeast England, for example, receives only 14 per cent of Britain's rainfall, has 30 per cent of its population, and has experienced declining winter rainfall since the 1980s

In recent years a great deal of interest has been shown in the conversion of seawater to fresh water to provide drinking water for very dry areas, such as the Middle East Several different processes, including distillation, electrodialysis, reverse osmosis, and direct-freeze evaporation, have been developed for this purpose Some of these processes have been used in large facilities in the United States Although these processes are successful, the cost of treating seawater is much higher than that for treating fresh water

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 question s from 55 to 64

Sleep is a natural process, and although a lot have been written about the subject, it is still surrounded

by mystery It is used by some as an escape from the world, and regarded by others as an irritating waste of

time: some people get by on very little, others claim they cannot exist without at least ten hours, but nobody can do without sleep completely

Our night’s sleep does not just consist of a steady phase of gradually deepening sleep It alternates

between two stages: Non-dreaming or ordinary sleep, and REM (rapid eye movement) or dreaming sleep As

>> Truy cập http://tuyensinh247.com/ để học Toán – Lý – Hóa – Sinh – Văn – Anh tốt nhất! 5/11

soon as we fall asleep, we go straight into non-dreaming sleep for an hour or so, then into REM sleep for about 15 minutes, then back into non-dreaming sleep It alternates in this way for the rest of the night, with

non-dreaming sleep tending to last longer at the beginning of the night Non-dreaming sleep occupies

three-quarters of our night’s sleep, about a quarter of it deep and the rest fairly light

It is widely believed that sleep repairs the body and makes good the damage caused by being awake However, its main function is to refresh the brain Experts believe that probably only about two-thirds of our sleep is necessary for repairing and refreshing the brain, with the most valuable sleep coming in the first few hours of the non-dreaming period, the last few hours of sleep are not so essential The brain can manage quite well with reduced sleep as long as it is uninterrupted sleep

The quality of sleep is important A study conducted in the USA looked at short sleepers, who slept for 5.5 hours on average, and long sleepers, who had 8.5 hours or more It is discovered after a variety of tests that the long sleepers were poor sleepers, had twice as much REM sleep as the short sleepers, appeared to sleep longer to make up for poor sleep, and did not wake up in the morning refreshed Similarly, people who sleep deeply do not necessarily get a better quality of sleep than shallow sleepers Deep sleepers can feel tired the following day, so six hours of good sleep is worth more than eight hours of troubled sleep

From Awakening to Sleep – American Psychological Association

Question 55: It can be concluded from the first paragraph that

A people need equal time of sleep B sleep remains a puzzle

C sleep is among the processes of the nature D everything about sleep has been brought to light

Question 56: The word “irritating” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

A calming B soothing C annoying D comforting

Question 57: All the following statements are true, EXCEPT for

A our night’s sleep occurs in a straight line of only two phases

B all sleeps are similar in the alternatives of the two stages during the night

C we spend only 25 percent of our night’s sleeping time dreaming

D we often have no dreams right after we fall asleep

Question 58: The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to

A our night’s sleep B the ordinary sleep C the REM D the night

Question 59: The word “occupies” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by

A accounts for B takes care of C works out D goes up

Question 60: Unlike the common belief, sleep helps

A not to be awake C us to fix the damage happening by day

B us to repair our body D our brain to rest and recover

Question 61: The study discussed in the reading passage suggests that

A the fewer hours we sleep, the more we dream B deep sleep means better sleep

C the type of sleep is more important than its length D six hours of sleep is better than eight hours Question 62: Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage?

A The role of the sleep B Sleepless people’s problems

C Types of sleep D The circle of a sleep

Question 63: It can be inferred from the reading passage that

A if we can sleep uninterruptedly, it is not necessary to sleep the whole night

B REM makes good our brain

C nearly 70 % of our sleep is invaluable

D dream enables our body to refresh when we can sleep uninterruptedly

Question 64: This passage is the most likely taken from

A a doctor’s description B a health magazine

C an advertisement D a fashion magazine

Lời giải chi tiết

1 Đáp án là A Từ drought có phần gạch chân được phát âm là / au/, các từ còn lại có phần gạch chân được phát âm là / ɔ:/

2 Theo quy tắc đọc đuôi –s, đáp án là D Động từ prevent, kết thúc bằng /t/, nên –s được phát âm là /s/; các từ còn lại phần gạch chân được phát âm /z/

3 Đáp án là D Danh từ “comment” có trọng âm rơi âm tiết thứ nhất, các động từ còn lại có trong âm rơi âm tiết thứ hai

4 Đáp án là B attractive có trọng âm rơi âm tiết thứ hai, các từ còn lại trọng âm rơi âm tiết thứ nhất

5 Đáp án là A appearance có trọng âm rơi âm tiết thứ hai, các từ còn lại trọng âm rơi âm tiết thứ nhất

must have done: diễn tả hành động chắc chắn đã xảy ra trong quá khứ ( có cơ sở );

needn’t have done: diễn tả hành động không cần xảy ra trong quá khứ (nhưng đã xảy ra )

Dựa vào nghĩa có thể chọn đáp án là D Dịch: Đáng lẽ ra anh ta đã nên đến gặp bác sỹ sau vụ tai nạn, nhưng thay vì đó anh ta đã tiếp tục chơi

10 Đáp án là B Đại từ phản thân : on her own = by herself : một mình cô ấy

11 Câu này hỏi về mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định, giữa hai dấu phẩy

Dùng phương pháp loại trừ:

A sai , vì was bắt đầu, câu sẽ thiếu chủ ngữ

B sai Vì câu thiếu động từ

C sai, vì đặt giữa hai dấu phẩy sẽ không hợp lý về mặt ngữ pháp

Đáp án là D có thể dùng danh từ “the scientist” ngăn cách giữa hai dấu phẩy để bổ sung cho danh từ trước nó

“Marie Curie” , và “who discovered radium” là mệnh đề quan hệ bổ sung cho danh từ “the scientist”

12 Phân tích câu ta thấy, có hai động từ “has increased” và “is” => A không thể chọn được, vì không thể có cáu trúc S + V +V

B cũng loại,vì nếu là câu chẻ, câu nhấn mạnh, ta phải theo công thức: It + be + N + that + S + V

C cũng loại vì though là liên từ, câu thiếu vế

Đáp án là D That + S + V là mệnh đề danh ngữ, có thể đóng vai trò như danh từ đứng đầu câu làm chủ ngữ,

và động từ theo sai chia ở dạng số ít

13 Đáp án là A Cấu trúc đảo ngữ: Hardly + had + S + PII + when + ……

Ngoài ra, còn có cấu trúc: No sooner … than…; Not until… that …

14 Đáp án là A Cấu trúc câu nhượng bộ “ mặc dù … nhưng ”: As + adj + S + V, S+ V

15 Can you show me the way to the nearest post office, please? – Bạn có thể chỉ cho tôi đường đến bưu điện gần nhất không? => Câu hỏi về đường

A Không phải đường, xin lỗi

B Nó ở ngay góc đằng kia kìa

C Hãy tra ở trong từ điển

D Không có giao thông ở gần đây

=> Đáp án là B

16 Câu này hỏi về liên từ:

Because + clause: bởi vì…(chỉ lý do )

So that + clause : để mà… ( chỉ mục đích )

>> Truy cập http://tuyensinh247.com/ để học Toán – Lý – Hóa – Sinh – Văn – Anh tốt nhất! 8/11

Despite + N/V-ing: mặc dù ( chỉ sự tương phản )

Therefore: vì vậy , thường đứng đầu câu, trước dấu phẩy

Dựa vào nghĩa có thể chọn được đáp án A Dịch: Tôi biết họ đang nói về tôi vì khi tôi vào phòng họ ngừng nói

17 You look great in that red skirt, Lora!” - Lora bạn mặc cái váy đỏ ấy đẹp quá!

A Không Tôi không nghĩ vậy

B Ồ, bạn không thích nó phải không

C Cám ơn Tôi mua nó ở cửa hàng Macy

D Cám ơn Mẹ của tôi đã mua nó

Đáp án hợp lý nhất là C

18 Đáp án là C By far: từ trước cho tới nay Dịch: Từ trước tới nay đây là công việc khó nhất mà tôi đã từng khắc phục

Các cụm còn lại: By all means: chắc chắn; by the way: bằng cách này,

19 Câu này hỏi về cụm động từ

Đáp án là C Catch someone up: ngăn cản ai đi ngủ Dịch: Anh ta không cho tôi đi ngủ mà giữ cho đến những giờ sớm của sáng hôm sau để nghe nhạc pop

20 Đáp án là D make sense: có nghĩa là hợp lý, có thể hiểu được

21 Đáp án là D do the washing up: đi rửa bát

22 Đáp án là B recycle: tái chế Dịch: Giấy thừa thải ra có thể được sử dụng lại sau khi đã được tái chế Các từ còn lại: produce: sản xuất; waste: lãng phí; preserve: bảo tồn

23 Đáp án là A attendance: số lượng người tham dự Dịch: Số lượng người tham dự quá ít, lớp học đã phải đóng cửa

Attendant (người phục vụ ) và attendee ( người tham dự ) là hai danh từ chỉ người, tuy nhiên,trong câu này không dùng được,

Attending ( danh động từ ): sự tham dự - cũng không hợp lý trong câu này

24 Đáp án là B pay attention to : chú ý đến…

25 Đáp án là C result in = cause: gây ra

Các từ còn lại: stop: dừng lại; lessen: làm giảm; overcome: vượt qua…

26 Absent – minded: đãng trí => Đáp án là D often forgetting things: thường quên mất những điều gì đấy

27 Đáp án là A detriment = harm: sự gây hại

Các từ còn lại mang nghĩa lợi ích

28 Prolific: có hiệu suất làm việc cao => Đáp án là B

Đáp án A reflective: phản ánh; exhausted: kiệt sức; critical: sâu sắc

29 Đáp án là A overwhelming = powerful: mạnh

Các từ còn lại: dreadful : sợ hãi; overflowing : chảy mạnh, outgrowing : tăng số lượng vượt trội

30 Đáp án là C interest => interests, vì động từ chia theo chủ ngữ “that” mà “that” lại thay thế cho “a hobby”

là danh từ số ít, nên động từ phải chia

31 Đáp án là B extreme => extremely, vì “concerned” như một tính từ => cần một trạng từ chỉ mức độ trước

nó, extremely: cực kỳ

32 Đáp án là C that => which, sau dấu phẩy là mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định, nên ta không thể dùng

“that” mà dùng “which” để thay thế cho “the poem – bài thơ ”

33 Đáp án là C emitting => emitted, chia bị động trong trường hợp này, có thể dựa vào cụm “by car engines and factories”

34 Đáp án là D have increased => has increased, vì the number of + Ns: chỉ số lượng… => động từ theo sau phải chia ở dạng số ít

35 Đáp án là B danh từ số ít, chưa xác định “three- or four-year course – khóa học 3-4 năm” => dùng mạo từ

“a”

>> Truy cập http://tuyensinh247.com/ để học Toán – Lý – Hóa – Sinh – Văn – Anh tốt nhất! 9/11

36 Đáp án là C make an offer: đưa ra đề nghị

37 Có thể dựa vào câu sau để đoán nghĩa câu trước: “In principle, students have to pay a contribution to … their living costs (maintenance).”- Về nguyên tắc, các học sinh phải trả khoản đóng góp vào chi phí giảng dạy (học phí) và cũng phải trả tiền chi phí sinh hoạt của họ (bảo trì)

=> Không thể chọn đáp án C free: miễn phí; Đáp án A và B giống nhau: permitted = allowed: được cho phép

Do vậy, đáp án là C compulsory: bắt buộc

38 Đáp án là A loans: khoản vay Dịch: The government provides loans…: chính phủ cung cấp khác khoản vay …

Nghĩa các từ còn lại: hires:thuê;shares: cổ phần; rents: tiền thuê

39 Đáp án là B level:mức độ Dịch: … reaches a certain level : đạt đến mức độ ổn định

Nghĩa các từ còn lại: grade: khối; mark: điểm; rank: thứ hạng

40 Đáp án là C Ngoại động từ: increase + N: tăng … Dịch: government policy has been to increase the percentage of 18-year olds … go to university – Chính sách của chính phủ là muốn tăng tỷ lệ phần trăm thanh niên 18 tuổi đi học đại học

Không dùng được “rise” vì đây là nội động từ, không theo sau bởi tân ngữ

41 Đáp án là A who thay thế cho “18-year olds- thanh niên 18 tuổi”

42 Đáp án là D at the expense of…: ở mức chi phí là …

43 Đáp án là B receive money from : nhận tiền từ…

44 Đáp án là B be responsible for: chịu trách nhiệm về …

Nghĩa các từ còn lại: liable chịu trách nhiệm ; answerable: có thể trả lời được; chargeable : có tính phí

Các từ còn lại: land: vùng đất; area: khu vực; river: sông

52 Đáp án là B Ý trong bài: Increased per-capita demand ( nhu câu trên đầu người ) has coincided with

water shortages in many countries
