Trang 1/5 - Mã đề 803

Bài thi: Ngoại ngữ; Môn thi: TIẾNG ANH

One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull The company that puts out this beverage has stated in

interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement drink for athletes

Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumer's body and mind In order to do this, the makers

of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and certain chemicals to their beverages The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally produces for energy The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem like a sure bet to give a person energy

Health professionals are not so sure, though For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a person's energy level Another problem is that there are so many things in the beverages Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients in energy drinks work together

Dr Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all the

claims energy drinks make He says, “It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will get a good

result.” However, Dr Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact on the body “We

just don't know at this point,” he says

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 37 to 43

Scientists have identified two ways in which species disappear The first is through ordinary or

“background” extinctions, where species that fail to adapt are slowly replaced by more adaptable life forms The second is when large numbers of species go to the wall in relatively short periods of biological time There have been five such extinctions, each provoked by cataclysmic evolutionary events caused by some geological eruption, climate shift, or space junk slamming into the Earth Scientists now believe that another mass extinction of species is currently underway – and this time human fingerprints are on the trigger

How are we doing it? Simply by demanding more and more space for ourselves In our assault on the

ecosystems around us we have used a number of tools, from spear and gun to bulldozer and chainsaw Certain especially rich ecosystems have proved the most vulnerable In Hawaii, more than half of the native birds are now gone – some 50 species Such carnage has taken place all across the island communities of the Pacific and Indian oceans While many species were hunted to extinction, others simply succumbed to the “

introduced predators’ that humans brought with them: the cat, the dog, the pig, and the rat

Today the tempo of extinction is picking up speed Hunting is no longer the major culprit, although rare

birds and animals continue to be butchered for their skin, feathers, tusks, and internal organs, or taken as

savage pets Today the main threat comes from the destruction of the habitat of wild plants, animals, and

Trang 9

insects that need to survive The draining and damming of wetland and river courses threatens the aquatic food chain and our own seafood industry Overfishing and the destruction of fragile coral reefs destroy ocean biodiversity Deforestation is taking a staggering toll, particularly in the tropics where the most global biodiversity is at risk The shrinking rainforest cover of the Congo and Amazon river basins and such places

as Borneo and Madagascar have a wealth of species per hectare existing nowhere else As those precious hectares are drowned or turned into arid pasture and cropland, such species disappear forever

(Adapted from Final Countdown Practice Tests by D.F Piniaris, Heinle Cengage Learning, 2010 )

Question 42 Which is no longer considered a major cause of the mass extinction underway currently?

A the destruction of habitats of species B the killing of animals for their body parts

C the shrinking of rainforests in the tropics D the building of dams across rivers

Question 43 The word butchered in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to

Most parents want their sons and daughters to have equal chances of success when they grow up Today, equality of the sexes is largely mandated by public policy and law However, old-fashioned ideas and a lot of prejudice are still part of our culture and present challenging questions for parents

Gender stereotypes are rigid ideas about how boys and girls should behave We all know what these stereotypes are: A "feminine" girls should be insecure, accommodating and a little illogical in her thinking A

"masculine" boy should be strong, unemotional, aggressive, and competitive How are children exposed to these stereotypes? According to the researchers David and Myra Sadker of the American University of Washington,

Trang 12

D.C., boys and girls are often treated differently in the classroom They found out that when boys speak, teachers usually offer constructive comments, when girls speech, teachers tend to focus on the behavior It's more important how the girls act rather than what they say

The emphasis on differences begins at birth and continues throughout childhood For example, few people would give pink baby's clothes to a boy or a blue blanket to a girl Later, many of us give girls dolls and miniature kitchenware, while boys receive action figures and construction sets There's nothing wrong with

that The problem arises when certain activities are deemed appropriate for one sex but not the other

According to Heather J Nicholson, Ph.D., director of the National Resource Center for Girls, Inc., this kind of practice prevents boys and girls from acquiring important skills for their future lives

"The fact is," says Nicholson, "that society functions as a kind of sorting machine regarding gender In a recent survey, fifty-eight percent of eighth-grade girls but only six percent of boys earned money caring for younger children On the other hand, twenty-seven percent of boys but only three percent of girls earned money doing lawn work" If we are serious about educating a generation to be good workers and parents, we need to eliminate such stereotypes as those mentioned previously

Gender stereotypes inevitably are passed to our children However, by becoming aware of the messages

our children receive, we can help them develop ways to overcome these incorrect ideas To counteract these

ideas, parents can look for ways to challenge and support their children, and to encourage confidence in ways that go beyond what society's fixed ideas about differences of sext are

C teachers often concentrate on boys' behavior and girls' manners

D schoolboys and schoolgirls are treated equally in the classroom

A People often give pink clothes to a boy and a blue blanket to a girl

B Many people give girls dolls and miniature kitchen and boys receive action figures and construction sets when they were born

alternative spring break projects find them very rewarding While most university students have to get their

degrees before they can start helping people, student volunteers are able to help people now On the other hand, the accommodations are far from glamorous Students often sleep on the floor of a school or spend the week camping in tents But students only pay around $250 for meals and transportation, which is much less than some of their peers spend to travel to more traditional spring break hotspots

Alternative spring break trips appear to be growing in popularity at universities across the United States

Students cite a number of reasons for participating Some appreciate the opportunity to socialize and meet

new friends Others want to exercise their beliefs about people’s obligation to serve humanity and make the world a better place Whatever their reason, these students have discovered something that gives them rich rewards along with a break from schoolwork

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word that best fits each of the numbered blanks from (34) to (38)

Combining visual channels of facial expression and body gesture is a (34) way to accomplish effective affect analysis The psychological researchers (35) studied about body language suggests that the integration of facial expression and body gesture is a mandatory process occurring early in human processing stream So the two modalities should be processed in a joint feature space, rather than fused at the decision-level (36) of the main difficulties for the feature-level fusion is that the features from different modalities may be incompatible, and the (37) between different feature spaces is unknown Our motivation is that, as facial expression and body gesture are two sets of measurements for the affective state, conceptually they are correlated (38) ,this analysis can establish their relationship, deriving a semantic “affect” space, in which the face and body features are compatible and can be effectively fused

Many students believe that math is an inherited ability – either they have the math gene or they don’t However, a recent research shows that inborn talent might not be as important as we think In the long run, the

most successful students are often those who work the hardest, not those with the highest IQs These students

believe that perseverance, not an innate gift, is the key to achievement

In her book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, Carol Dweck argues that a positive mindset is what

makes some students push themselves when others give up Students with a “fixed mindset” believe that they were born with a certain set of talents They see challenges as a sign that they’ve reached the limit of their natural ability, and they stop trying On the contrary, students with a “growth mindset” believe that there are

no limits on their potential, and view challenges as a chance to learn and improve They know that their

Trang 19

intelligence can be built through experience and effort, and are not held back by the idea of inborn restrictions

Geoff Colvin delivers a similar message in his book, Talent Is Overrated He demonstrates that success is

almost always the result of what he calls “deliberate practice”, concentrated effort to improve one’s skills through focused effort Inborn talent might make a difference when a subject is first tackled, but years later, it’s the hard-working children who are the most successful Kim Callan – a math teacher – agrees: “It is rare for a hard-working student to fail in my class.”

Having the right mindset is critical to success Children need to believe in their ability to overcome

challenges through concentrated effort If you place your child in the right math class and encourage him/ her

to work hard, there’s no limit to what he/she will be able to accomplish

(Adapted from TOELF Junior Reading)

Recently fans of top soaps, dramas and reality shows in the USA have started to get angry about the number and frequency of the adverts in the middle of the programmes Sometimes it seems that the adverts are more important than the programmes themselves For example, American dramas aren't as long as they

were in the past Nowadays in the US, an ‘hour-long’ drama lasts about 40 minutes, whereas in the 1980s the

programmes lasted 48 minutes The rest is adverts

The ABC channel had slightly more adverts than other channels But recently they've changed, which is even worse than before! Before, all their dramas had four sections But now its producers separate each programme into six sections Usually the first section is approximately ten minutes long Then they have the

first break When people have watched a programme for ten minutes, it’s much less probable that they will

stop watching or change channels But then, in the next 45 minutes, there are four more commercial breaks Each break is about three and a half minutes long

All of this makes it much more difficult for dramas’ writers to write good stories Quiet scenes make no impact because there are more and more adverts which are longer and longer 'It's OK for game shows or more exciting adventure series.' says American TV producer David Kelley ‘But for programmes that don’t

Trang 20

depend on violence or melodramatic scenes, it's more difficult to make a story with six sections The only thing you can do is be more aggressive, either with the music or the visual impact, just to attract people's attention after the adverts.’

(Adapted from Gateway B1)

Question 46 Which could be the best title of the passage?

A Adverts turn TV viewers off B TV commercials are no longer in favour

C Commercial breaks increase productivity D Modern advertising is an advantage

Question 47 The phrase “the programmes” in paragraph 1 refers to

A American dramas B the adverts C the ABC channels D reality shows

Question 48 The word “probable” in paragraph 2 mostly means

A very difficult to deal with B likely to happen

C causing worry D unable to believe

Question 49 According to the passage, previously all of the ABC channel’s dramas

A had six segments B consisted of 4 parts

C were divided into 5 separate parts D lasted 40 minutes

Question 50 Which of the following is TRUE about game shows as stated in the passage?

A They rely neither on violence nor melodramatic scenes

B It is possible to make them as six-part programmes

C Quiet scenes in game shows are important factors in attracting people’s attention

D They attract TV viewers by adverts lasting for three minutes

Making the right choice

The decision as to which university to apply to is often taken on the basis of a university’s position on the world rankings table Yet, (1) considerations, such as whether the course is theoretical or offers hands-

on experience and the amount of time that students will need to work independently should be taken into (2) The fact is that some undergraduates (3) express their dissatisfaction with their university experience base their complaints on poor organisation, the lack of support received and on having fewer contact hours than expected

As higher education providers come under increasing pressure to meet (4) targets and to maintain

or improve their status, course guidelines should clarify what participants can expect from the course and what the course expects from them This should ensure a reduction in student drop-out rates Inevitably, (5) , no matter how much the content and structure is spelt out, some students will turn up with unrealistic expectations that can never be met

Over centuries, the sоurсеs оf соlоurs were highly valued Recently, scientists discovered the psychological effects of colours, and реорlе found ways to use this discovery to influence our feelings and behaviour

Red, thе colour of blood, symbolises fire, love and аngеr In Eastern cultures, people believe it brings luсk, wealth and success In humans, the color red саn send different messages Some реорlе redden, fоr example, when they аrе аngrу оr еmbаrrаssеd Researchers have discovered that in sрогts the team that is wearing red

is more likelу to win Why? Because red seems to be the colour that signals dominance It is also proved that

contact with this colour causes the heart rate to increase However, оnе of red’s lighter shades, pink, can have the opposite effect on реорlе Men in prisons are less aggressive whеn the walls are a specific shade of pink Blue, the соlоur of the sky аnd sea, has some meaning Its dаrkеr shades rерrеsеnt calm, stability and power Dark blue, for example, is the соlоur of the business suit оr police uniform; it tells others, 'I аm in соntrоl.’ Bluе is also associated with depression It’s common in English, for example, when you are feeling sad or bitter, to talk about ‘feeling blue;’ while in lrаn, blue is the colour of mоurning, wоrn whеn а реrsоn dies Like pink, bluе has а calming effect оn people Rooms painted blue help people to rеlах оr sleep

Sleeping pills аrе often coloured blue to suggest exactly this idea This colour also seems to reduce feelings

оf hunger Blue food is rаrеlу seen in nature, and when it is, such food is usually nо lоngеr healthy to соnsumе

The transition of digital photography from the privilege of rich people to an ordinary home appliance has caused some problems That is the reason a modern man has a set of questions concerning digital cameras

The basic problem in choosing a digital camera is the guarantee that the device you are purchasing will

“grow old” in a couple of months due to constant improvements and developments of technology The only factor that may delay this process of “growing old” is purchasing a device with the price twice or three times

Trang 23

higher than the average market price for a digital camera at the moment If a person chooses a digital camera, there are several criteria of a great priority he needs to keep in mind: the price and the image resolution of the

camera, the capacity of the memory card, the presence of an LCD display, the interface of the device and its

weight and size

The price of a digital camera depends on its quality factors The resolution of a digital camera or the “size

of a digital image”, is measured in pixels which are photosensitive elements It is common knowledge that the bigger the amount of pixels in the camera properties is, the better it is Therefore, if a high-detailed photo is required, the usage of the zoom on a digital camera with low resolution will not give the desired result In this case, a person choosing a digital camera needs to exactly know what it will be used for and to choose it according to its future destination It is necessary to mention that the resolution of 640 x 480 is the lowest resolution any customer should be orientated to It is the minimal resolution with which the purchase of a digital camera still remains reasonable

The lens of the camera or the zoom properties allows saving a lot on the price of the device but hits the quality of the pictures The memory card is a very important issue, too It is much better to choose a good camera with a small memory capacity than an average digital camera with a larger memory capacity The presence of an LCD display is no longer a wish It is a requirement for any digital camera It allows people to check the future image, to anticipate it and to delete bad images and therefore to save space

Question 20 In the second paragraph, the phrase “depends on” is closest in meaning to

Question 21 According to paragraph 2, when we are talking about the resolution of a digital camera, all of the following are what we should be aware of EXCEPT

A the size and weight of the camera

B the lowest resolution any customer should be orientated to

C The purpose the camera will be used for

D the future destination of the camera

Question 22 What can we infer from the passage?

A The larger the capacity of the memory card is, the better the camera is

B It is not so necessary to pay attention to the presence of an LCD display

C The quality of the camera is much more important than the capacity of the memory card

D The lens of the camera is useless

Question 23 According to the passage, which kind of cameras may a customer NOT buy?

What is happiness

How happy were you yesterday? This is a question that happiness researchers ask And they have discovered that happiness does not necessarily come with more wealth or possessions In the West there has been an improvement in our (5) of living, but there is evidence that being richer doesn't make us happier Firstly, we soon get used to pleasure, so a new car or a holiday only gives a short term increase in happiness Secondly, we compare our lives with other people's, (6) can cause dissatisfaction

According to psychologists, the happiest people have supportive social relationships Friendship is more important than earnings, and even (7) our immune system Love and marriage also make people happier, although strangely having children doesn't increase our sense of well-being!

Having worthwhile goals and doing meaningful work contribute to life satisfaction So if your job doesn't fit with your strengths and abilities you become less happy (8) , the loss of your job can affect you for years, even after you get a new one (9) areas which are important to happiness are your spiritual life, your values and your health

But supermarkets and grocers are starting to sit up and take notice In response to growing consumer

backlash against the huge amounts of plastic waste generated by plastic packaging, some of the largest UK

supermarkets have signed up to a pact promising to transform packaging and cut plastic wastage In a pledge

to reuse, recycle or compost all plastic wastage by 2025, supermarkets are now beginning to take some responsibility for the part they play in contributing to the damage to our environment, with one major supermarket announcing their plan to eliminate all plastic packaging in their own-brand products by 2023

In response to criticisms over food waste, some supermarkets are donating some of their food surplus

However, charities estimate that they are only accessing two per cent of supermarkets' total food surplus, so
