Trang 2Trang 2 http://dethithpt.com – Website chuyên đề thi thử file word có lời giải
before readministration of the test Their scores improved significantly The other 8 students
(who did not receive the beta blockers) improved only slightly Second-time test-takers nationwide had average improvements which were similar to those in Faugel's non-beta blocker group
Beta blockers are prescription drugs which have been around for 25 years These
medications, which interfere with the effects of adrenalin, have been used for heart
conditions and for minor stress such as stage fright Now they are used for test anxiety These drugs seem to help test-takers who have low scores because of test fright, but not those who

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
Today I’d like to begin a discussion on the problem of the heating up the earth First, we’ll touch on the relationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer You probably remember that the ozone layer is the protective shield around the earth It is important to all
life, because it filters out harmful ultraviolet light from the sun Ozone itself, a form of
oxygen, is regularly made by the action of the sun in the upper atmosphere It is also regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes
The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed Scientists suspect
that certain chemicals, such as fluorocarbons, are contributing to the depletion of the ozone
layer And how do we use fluorocarbons? The most common uses are in spray cans and cooling systems The chemical pollution from these fluorocarbons can account for some of the ozone losses that have been reported There are, however, new studies linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer We’ll go into that new study more next time

Từ “interfere” ở đoạn 2 gần nghĩa nhất với
A quy định, kê đơn B trợ giúp C giúp đỡ D cản trở

Question 9: Đáp án D
Tại sao thuốc chẹn beta không được kê đơn thường xuyên?
A Học sinh được trông đợi làm bài không tốt
B Chúng gây nên căng thẳng thi cử
C Thuốc chỉ mới tồn tại được 25 năm
D Chúng có tác dụng phụ
“Since there can be side effects from these beta blockers, physicians are not ready to
prescribe them routinely for all test-takers.”
(Do có thể có tác dụng phụ từ thuốc chẹn beta, các bác sĩ chưa sẵn sàng kê đơn chúng rộng
rãi cho tất cả thí sinh”
Như vậy, chúng không được kê đơn rộng rãi do có tác dụng phụ
Question 10: Đáp án D
Theo như đoạn văn,
A mọi người đều có thể dùng thuốc chẹn Beta
B thuốc chẹn Beta được kê đơn rộng rãi
C thuốc chẹn Beta chỉ giúp cải thiện điểm nếu thí sinh thực sự có kiến thức
D thuốc chẹn Beta chỉ giúp giảm căng thẳng thi cử
“These drugs seem to help test-takers who have low scores because of test fright, but not
those who do not know the material.”
(Những thuốc này chỉ có tác dụng với những ai điểm thấp do căng thẳng mà không có tác
dụng cho những ai không có kiến thức)
Từ bài đọc, ta biết thuốc này chỉ được dùng với đơn thuốc của bác sĩ mà không dùng tùy tiện,
và các bác sĩ không kê đơn rộng rãi loại này do chúng có tác dụng phụ, và loại thuốc này
không chỉ có tác dụng giảm căng thẳng thi cử mà còn giúp điều hòa nhịp tim, giảm áp lực
nhẹ, nên A, B, D là sai
Question 11: Đáp án A
“Readministration” nói đến việc _
A tổ chức tái kiểm tra cả hai nhóm sau khi thuốc chẹn Beta đã được dùng bởi một nhóm
Trang 10Trang 10 http://dethithpt.com – Website chuyên đề thi thử file word có lời giải
B tổ chức tái kiểm tra cho những ai không dùng thuốc chẹn Beta
C cho dùng thuốc chẹn Beta mà không tái kiểm định
D tổ chức kiểm tra cho tất cả thí sinh và cho chúng dùng thuốc chẹn Beta
“to reduce the anxiety of these students who had already been tested, he gave 22 of them a
beta blocker before readministration of the test.”
(để giảm căng thẳng cho các em học sinh đã làm bài thi, ông cho 22 em trong số chúng dùng
thuốc chẹn Beta trước khi tái kiểm tra.)
Như vậy, trước lúc tái kiểm tra, có một nhóm 22 em đã dùng thuốc và một nhóm 8 em còn lại không dùng
Dễ thấy A đúng
Tái kiểm định diễn ra, với cả 2 nhóm và sau khi chúng đã dùng thuốc nên C, B và D sai
Question 12: Đáp án A
Tác dụng nào của thuốc chẹn Beta không được bàn đến trong bài đọc?
A giảm đau B giảm căng thẳng thi cử
C điều hòa nhịp tim D tránh những căng thẳng nhẹ
Từ bài đọc ta thấy, thuốc chẹn Beta “have been used for heart conditions and for minor stress such as stage fright Now they are used for test anxiety.”
(được dùng để kiểm soát nhịp tim và những căng thẳng nhỏ như sợ sân khấu Và hiện tại
chúng được dùng cho căng thẳng thi cử)
Như vậy tác dụng giảm đau không được nhắc tới
Question 13: Đáp án A
Thuốc chẹn Beta có tác dụng với một vài triệu chứng về thể chất và tinh thần bởi chúng
A can thiệp vào tác động của andrenalin
B cơ bản thay đổi quá trình suy nghĩ của con người
C sản sinh tác dụng phụ nguy hại hơn cả triệu chứng ban đầu
D đánh lừa giác quan khiến người ta cảm thấy tốt hơn
Câu 2 đoạn 2: “These medications, which interfere with the effects of adrenalin, have been
used for heart conditions and for minor stress such as stage fright.”
(Loại thuốc này, với cơ chế can thiệp vào tác động của andrenalin, được sử dụng để kiểm soát nhịp tim và những nỗi căng thẳng nhẹ như cảm giác sợ sân khấu.)
