Seeking a new life and hoping for a significant (28) in their standard of living, foreign workers began flocking into Western Europe during the 1950s In Britain, some of the first immigrants arriving from the West Indies and the Indian subcontinent were welcomed by brass bands, but the dream
of a new, life soon (29) sour for many
Attracted by the promise to earn good money and learn new skills, the reality they found was often one of low wages and, in many cases, unemployment Some did not adapt (30) _ to life in a country
of cold weather and discrimination The (31) of West Indian immigrants moved into the inner cities, areas that were already fraught with social tensions caused by poverty and poor housing There were casts
of open hostility towards the newcomers; riots (32) out in Notting Hill, West London in 1958, when gangs of white youths began taunting nmats
However, despite the numerous difficulties they encountered, many foreign workers did manage to adjust to their new conditions, settling in their new adopted country and prospering Their contribution had the effect of not only speeding up the pace of economic change in the postwar period, but also transforming Western Europe into a multiracial society

People appear to be born to compute The numerical skills of children develop so early-and so inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of mathematical maturity guiding their growth Not long after learning to walk and talk, they can set the table with impressive accuracy - one plate, one knife, one spoon, one fork, for each of the five chairs Soon they are capable of noting that they have placed five knives, spoons and forks on the table and, a bit later, that this amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware

Trang 4Having thus mastered addition, they move on to subtraction It seems almost reasonable to expect that if a child were secluded on a desert island at birth and retrieved seven years later, he or she could enter a second-grade mathematics class without any serious problems of intellectual adjustment
Of course, the truth is not so simple This century, the work of cognitive psychologists has illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on which intellectuel progress depends Children were observed as they slowly grasped or, as the case might be, bumptd into concepts that adults take for granted,
as they refused, for instance, to concede that quantity is unchanged as water Tours from a short stout glass into a tall thin one Psychologists have since demonstrated that young children, asked to count the pencils
in a pile, readily report the number of blue or red pencils, but must be coaxed into finding the total
Such studies have suggested that the rudiments of mathematics are mastered gradually and with effort They have also suggested that the very concept of abstract numbers the idea of a oneness, a twoness,
a threeness that applies to any class of objects - is a prerequisite for doing anything more mathematically demanding than setting a table, and is itself far from innate
Question 33: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A The development of mathematical ability in children
B The use of mathematics in child psychology
C The fundamental concepts of mathematics that children must learn
D Trends in teaching mathematics to children
Question 34: It can be inferred from the passage that children normally learn simple counting
A after they reach second grade in school
B soon after they learn to talk
C when they begin to be mathematically mature
D by looking at the clock
Question 35: The word “illuminated” is closest in meaning to _
A accepted B illustrated C lighted D clarified
Question 36: According to the passage, when small children were asked to count a pile of red and blue
pencils, they
A guessed at the total number of pencils
B counted only the pencils of their favorite color
C counted the number of pencils of each color
D subtracted the number of red pencils from the number of blue pencils
Question 37: Which of the following statements would the author LEAST agree with?
A Mathematical development is subtle and gradual
B Children naturally and easily learn mathematics
C Most people follow the same pattern of mathematical development
D Children learn to add before they learn to subtract

In the history of technology, computers and calculators were innovative aevelopments They are essentially different from all other machines because they have a memory This memory stores instructions and information In a calculator, the instructions, are the various functions of arithmetic, which are permanently remembered by the machine and canna be ltered:or added to: The information consists of the numbers which are keyed in
An electronic pocket calculator can perform almost instant arithmetic, A calculator requires an input unit to feed in numbers, a processing unit to make the calculation, a memory.unit, and an output unit to
DeThiThu.Net
Trang 5display the result The calculator is powered by a small battery or by a panel of solar cells Inside is a microchip that contains the memory and processing units and also controls the input unit, which is the keyboard, and the output unit, which is the display

of lines in the circuit board to the processing unit, in which the binary code for That key is stored in the memory The processing unit also sends the code to the display Each key is connected by a different pair
of lines to the processing unit, which repeatedly checks the lines to fmd out when a pair is linked by a key
The memory unit stores the arithmetic instructions for the processing unit and holds the temporary results that occur during calculation Storage cells in the memory unit hold, he the codes for the keys that have been pressed The number codes, together with the operation code for the plus key, are held in temporary cells until the processing unit requires them
When the equal key is pressed, it sends a signal to the processing unit This takes the operation code
– for example addition – and the two numbers being held in the memory unit and perform the operation on the two numbers After the addition is done, the result goes to the decoder in the calculator's microchip This code is then sent to the liquid crystal display unit, which shows the result, or output, of the calculation

Trang 8ĐÁP ÁN
1 C 1 - 1 - 2 - 1
- inferior = âm 2 - do trọng âm thường đứng trước đuôi -ior
2 A 1 - 2 - 2 - 2
(bạn nào quen với trọng âm có thể đoán được objective và profession âm 2)
3 B adverb /'ædvə:b/
advance /əd'vɑ:ns/ , /əd'væns/
advent /'ædvənt/
advertise /'ædvətaiz/
(cố ghi nhớ những từ huyền thoại có ad- ở đầu này nhé)
4 B quy tắc phát âm đuôi -ed - luôn phải đúng
5 D dạng cấu trúc mang nghĩa tương phản với Tính từ:
Adj + as/though + S + to be: mặc dù …
- as though: như thể là - không hợp nghĩa
- regardless phải đi với of - regardless of: bất chấp, bất kể
- But for: nếu không có, nếu không phải vì - không hợp nghĩa
6 B give sth a wipe: rửa sạch cái gì
7 A - be acquainted with sth: quen với việc gì
- be responsible for sth: chịu trách nhiệm về cái gì
8 D apply for: xin việc (position of chief finacial officer: vị trí trưởng phòng tài chính)
9 C life expectancy: tuổi thọ ~ lifespan
10 C be dismissive of sth: coi thường cái gì
11 D instead of: thay vì
12 B câu điều kiện Loại 3
13 B don't bother to do sth: đừng bận tâm đến việc làm gì

Trang 9Dịch: Đừng bận tâm việc gọi cho bà Whiteman Tao đã nói với bả về cuộc hợp sắp tới
mà được tổ chức bởi hội đồng quản trị
14 C đây là Câu Tuyệt Đối hay Câu Đặc Biệt
Anh nói qua thế này: 2 câu đơn trong tiếng Anh phải được nối nhau = 1 liên từ:
- Because there is no question, the meeting stops now
>< nhưng nếu như 2 câu không có liên từ nối nữa thì 1 câu (thường câu đứng sau Liên
từ) sẽ có V bị biến đổi về V-ing (nếu là câu chủ động) hoặc Vp2 (nếu là câu bị động)
=> There being no questions, the meeting stops now
+ 1 ví dụ khác:
- Because he forgot the key, we couldn't enter the room
=> He forgetting the key, we couldn't enter the room
15 C phía sau là 1 V thì chỉ có which hoặc that - nhưng that không đứng sau dấu phẩy
16 C adopt: lựa chọn, theo
=> hợp nghĩa: adopt a lifestyle = sống theo lối sống xanh (bảo vệ môi trường)
- adapt sth: điều chỉnh (cái có sẵn) ; adapt to sth: thích nghi với
- adjust: điều chỉnh (cái có sẵn)
- adjoin: tiếp sát, ở bên cạnh
17 A để ý các cụm sau:
(1) so + Adj + that (2) such a/an + Adj + N + that (3) so + Adj + a/an + N + that
=> và (2) ~ (3)
such a rich man ~ so rich a man = 1 gã rất giàu
18 C - immediate: trước mắt
Dịch: Thường con người ta chỉ chú ý đến những lợi ích trước mắt mà không nghĩ hiểm họa môi trường từ những hoạt động kinh tế nhất định
19 B rely on ~ depend on: phụ thuộc vào
20 B loom large: trở nên rất quan trọng, là vấn đề chủ yếu ~ become important

Trang 10(có thể đoán ra phần nào nhờ dịch câu - nhưng cũng khó loại ý D - nói chung cho kiểu này là kiểu cho Chống Điểm 10)
21 B at a loose end: rảnh rỗi >< occupied: bận rộn
- free là từ đồng nghĩa với nó - dịch vế sau có thể đoán được Vấn đề phải biết nghĩa 3 từ
còn lại
22 B adverse: chống đối, nghịch, tiêu cực >< favourable: tán thành, thuận theo
23 A they => bỏ đi
- đây là lỗi thừa từ
- 1 câu đơn chỉ có 1 Chủ Ngữ Chính + 1 Động Từ Chính Digital Clocks là chủ ngữ
chính của câu rồi, đoạn sau dấu phẩy là thành phần phụ thêm vào thôi - tự dưng mọc ra
they là thừa thôi
24 D Eastern ladies => Eastern women/ Eastern ones
Đang nói đến women ở phương Tây thì phải so sánh với women ở phương Đông - tự dưng mọc ra ladies
- cái này gọi là lỗi tương quan
(Dành cho bạn cần chính xác hơn thì câu này sửa là:
The rights Eastern ladies => those of Eastern women
* Chúng ta so sánh giữa quyền của phụ nữ phương Tây và quyền của phụ nữ
phương Đông - those = the rights)
25 B the more inferior => inferior
- be inferior to sth: kém hơn, dở hơn, không tốt bằng (bản thân nó đã mang nghĩa so sánh rồi = be worse than/ be not as good as)
26 D I couldn't feel better about it = Tao cảm thấy không gì tuyệt vời hơn với nó / Không
còn gì tuyệt vời hơn về nó ~ I felt great about it = Tao thấy nó rất tuyệt
(ngữ cảnh là đang hỏi về chuyến đi đến Đan Mạch)
27 A - Mày thích làm loại công việc gì ?
=> Bất kỳ việc gì liên quan đến máy tính
28 B change in sth: sự thay đổi trong cái gì
D
câu này sai đề ! turn sour = go sour: hỏng, không như mong đợi (mơ ước)
30 A adapt easily to sth: thích nghi dễ dàng với
