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 30 to 34 Very few people in the modem world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural environment surrounding their homes This method of harvesting from nature’s provision is the oldest subsistence strategy, and has been practiced for at least two million years It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of animals were introduced about 10,000 years ago Because hunter- gathers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments such as deserts forests or arctic wasteland In higher latitudes, the shorter growing season has restricted the availability of plant life Such conditions have caused a greater independence on hunting, and along the coasts and waterways, on fishing The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of

the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited

possibilities for the development of subsistence societies

Contemporary hunter-gathers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors We know from observation of modem hunter-gathers in both Africa and Alaska that society based on hunting and gathering must be very mobile While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp When the food in the area is exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site We also notice a seasonal migration on pattern evolving for most hunter gathers, along with a restrict division of labor between sexes These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practiced by mankind during the Paleolithic Period

Question 30 With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned?

A The Paleolithic period B Subsistence farming

C Hunter-gatherers D Marginal environment

Question 31 The word “rudimentary” is closest in meaning to _

A rough B preliminary C ancient D backward

Question 32 When was hunting and gathering introduced?

A 1,000,000 years ago B 2,000,000 years ago

C 10,000 years ago D 2,000 years ago

Question 33 How can we know more about the hunter-gathers of prehistoric time?

A By studying the remains of their camp sites B By studying similar contemporary societies

C By studying the prehistoric environment D By practicing hunting and gathering Question 34 Which of the following is not true according the passage?

A More and more people in the modem time live on the food they gather in the natural

environment

around their homes

B The more vegetable in the lower latitude in the tropics there is, the greater opportunity for gathering plants there are

C Because of the shorter growing season in higher latitude, the availability of plants is limited

D The environmental differences result in restricted diet

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 35 to 42

An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the

atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous changes When the first

air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled- a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today As technology has developed and knowledge of health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain

conditions Many of more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxides and nitrogen oxides are found in nature As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil On a global basis, nature’s output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities

However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city In such region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles The result is a concentration of noxious chemicals in the air The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for a

substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of

an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0 08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level Carbon monoxide, however has a natural level of 0 1 ppm and

is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm

Question 35 The word “adversely “ is closest in meaning to

A considerably B quickly C admittedly D negatively

Question 36 According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if

A the other substances in the area are known B it can be calculated quickly

C it is in a localized area D the natural level is also known

Question 37 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that

A the definition of air pollution will continue to change

B water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas

C most pollutants today can be seen or smelled

D a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities

Question 38 According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in localized regions _

A will react harmfully with natural pollutants

B can overwhelm the natural system removing pollutants

C will damage area outside of the localized regions

D can be dwarfed by nature’s output of pollutants

Question 39 The word “these” in the second paragraph refers to _

A the compounds moved to the water or soil B the various chemical reactions

C the pollutants from the developing Earth D the components in biogeochemical cycles Question 40 The word “localized “ is closest in meaning to _

A specified B circled C encircled D surrounded

Question 41 Which of the following is best supported by the passage?

A Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants

B Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution

C One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution laws

D To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air pollution laws

Question 42 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere

B The economic impact of air pollution

C What constitutes an air pollutant

D How much harm air pollutants can cause

Dùng “when” để nối 2 mệnh đề: Hành động ở mệnh đề 1 chia ở thì quá khứ tiếp diễn; hành động

ở mệnh đề 2 chia ở thì quá khứ đơn

Dịch: Lúc tôi đang làm bài tập về nhà thì đèn tắt

Question 6: Đáp án B

Đây là cấu trúc tuyệt đối/ độc lập dạng “S + V-ing ” - dùng trong câu bị động

A sai vì thiếu liên từ (hai câu độc lập không được nối với nhau bằng dấu phẩy)

C sai vì động từ “tobe” phải được chia (being => was)

D sai thì động từ và thiếu liên từ

Dịch: Không có xe taxi nên họ đã phải đi bộ về nhà

NOTE 21:

Cấu trúc độc lập/ tuyệt đối không phải là một câu, mà nó tương đương như một cụm từ

Cấu trúc này thường được dùng trong văn chương và thơ

Cách nhận biết: Trong câu có 2 vế phải khác chủ ngữ và có dấu phẩy ngăn cách

Cấu tạo của câu độc lập - nó không dùng động từ chia mà dùng phân từ (participle) /tính từ/ cụm giới từ

Một số loại cấu trúc độc lập thường gặp:

* Danh từ/ Đại từ (N/ Pro) + hiện tại phân từ (Ving): dùng trong câu chủ động

E.g: The weather being fine, we went out for a picnic ~ The weather was fine, so we went out for a picnic (Thời tiết đẹp nên chúng tôi đi dã ngoại.)

Đây là loại hay gặp nhất trong các đề thi

* Danh từ/ Đại từ (N/ Pro) + quá khứ phân từ (PP): dùng trong câu bị động

E.g: These exercises finished, I went to bed ~ After these exercises had been finished, I went to bed (Sau khi những bài tập này được hoàn thành thì tôi đi ngủ.)

* Danh từ/ Đại từ (N/ Pro) + giới từ

E.g: A girl came in, a book in hand (Cô gái bước vào với quyển sách trên tay.)

* Danh từ/ Đại từ (N/ Pro) + tính từ

E.g: His determination stronger than ever, Peter resolved not to give up until he had achieved his dreams

* Trước cấu trúc độc lập có thể có giới từ “with”

E.g: She came in with a book in (her) hand

I won’t be able to go on holiday with my mother being ill

He sat there with his eyes closed

Don’t sleep with the doors open

Question 9: Đáp án B

Đây là sự kết hợp giữa thì quá khứ tiếp diễn và quá khứ đơn để diễn tả hành động đang xảy ra thì

có một hành động khác xen vào trong quá khứ (hành động đang xảy ra được chia ở thì quá khứ tiếp diễn “was/ were + V-ing”, hành động xen vào được chia ở thì quá khứ đơn “V2-ed”)

Dịch: Hôm qua tôi đã nhìn thấy một vụ tai nạn nghiêm trọng trong khi tôi đang đi dạo trên bãi biển

Question 10: Đáp án C

- Who: đại từ quan hệ chỉ người, đứng sau danh từ chỉ người, làm chủ ngữ/ tân ngữ trong

MĐQH

- focus (v): tập trung

- monitor (v): giám sát

- check (v): kiểm tra

Dịch: Vấn đề cần được giải quyết ngay lập tức nếu không thì sẽ quá trễ

Question 12: Đáp án B

Cấu trúc:

- should + have PP: lẽ ra đã nên làm gì

- might + V (bare-inf): có thể làm gì đó (tương lai)

- will + have PP: sẽ làm gì trước 1 thời điểm/ hành động khác trong tương lai (thì tương lai hoàn thành)

Dịch: Tim đã không làm bài tập về nhà cho nên giáo viên đã rất tức giận Cậu ta lẽ ra đã nên làm bài tập về nhà

Question 13: Đáp án A

- jump over sth: nhảy qua cái gi (nói về việc đến được phía bên kia của vật gì cao, hoặc vật gì có chiều cao lớn hơn bề ngang)

E.g.: She jumped over the fence into the garden (Cô ta đã nhảy qua hàng rào vào khu vườn) Dịch: Hôm qua anh ta đã bị thương sau khi nhảy qua bức tường

NOTE 21:

- Chúng ta có thể sử dụng across, over và through để nói về một vị trí ở bên kia hoặc đi đến được như bên kia cầu, đường, biên giới, sông (on the other side of, to the other side of)

E.g: There’s a cafe across/over the street (Có một quán cà phê bên kia đường.)

Ta dùng over hơn là across khi nói về việc đến được phía bên kia của vật gì cao, hoặc vật gì có chiều cao lớn hơn bề ngang

E.g: He jumped across the stream (Anh ta đã nhảy qua con suối.)

- Khi nói đến vật gì mà chúng ta nghĩ như một mặt phẳng, hoặc một vùng như đất nước hoặc biển thì ta hay dùng across hơn

E.g: I suddenly saw Mary across the room (Tôi bỗng nhiên nhìn thấy Mary đi ngang qua căn phòng.)

Ta có thể nói all over (khắp) nhưng thường không nói all across Thay vào đó ta dùng across/ right across để nhấn mạnh

E.g: The disease has now spread all over/(right) across the world (Căn bệnh đã lây lan trên khắp

cả thế giới.)
