No school I have ever<br /> taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, different ideas<br /> about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability.<br /> The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him<br /> back with the complexities of spelling.<br /> If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher's interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to "play safe".<br /> He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That's why<br /> teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.<br /> I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience. "This work is<br /> terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is terrible." It may have been a sharp criticism of the<br /> pupil's technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay,<br /> which contained some beautiful expressions of the child's deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw<br /> attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child's ideas, an expression of his disappointment with<br /> the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.<br /> Câu 20: The underlined expression “play safe” probably means _________.<br /> A. to write carefully<br /> B. to do as teachers say<br /> C. to use dictionaries frequently<br /> D. to avoid using words one is not sure of<br /> Câu 21: Teachers are different in their opinions about ______.<br /> A. the role of spelling in general language development<br /> B. the complexities of the basic writing skills<br /> C. the necessity of teaching spelling<br /> D. the difficulties in teaching spelling<br /> Câu 22: The author seems to think that the teacher's judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is _________.<br /> A. reasonable<br /> B. unfair<br /> C. careless<br /> D. foolish<br /> Câu 23: The major point discussed in the passage is ________.<br /> A. the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition<br /> B. the importance of developing writing skills<br /> C. the complexities of spelling<br /> D. the correct way of marking compositions<br /> Câu 24: Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ___________.<br /> A. students will have more confidence in writing<br /> B. teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes<br /> C. students will learn to be independent of teachers<br /> D. students will be able to express their ideas more freely<br /> Câu 25: Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to the following question.<br /> Not only knowledge and skills, but also attitudes _______in school for students’ future adjustment to soc iety.<br /> A. which need to to cultivated<br /> B. need to be cultivated<br /> C. when cultivated<br /> D. cultivated<br /> Câu 26: Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to show the underlined part that needs correction.<br /> (A) Even on the most (B) careful prepared (C) trip, problems (D) will sometimes develop.<br /> A.

These activities improve our<br /> quality of life. Have you considered that to do all of the above requires the availability of natural resourc es, whether<br /> used as raw materials or in finished products?<br /> The United Nations predicts that the global population will increase from the present 6.65 billion to 7.95 billion<br /> by the year 2025. At the same time, the world is becoming more prosperous. The average person is consuming more<br /> food, water, energy and metals.

Yet very few people take this seriously.<br /> Within the next 50 years, the world's population is projected to rise by 40%. This growth, coupled with<br /> increasing industrialization and urbanization, will result in greater demand for water. Water will become much<br /> scarcer. The United Nations figures suggest that there are around 300 potential conflicts over water all over the<br /> world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about one-sixth of the world's population lacks access<br /> to clean water, while 40% are without access to proper sanitation services.<br /> Câu 29: Which future problems are referred in the text?<br /> A. cars and tools<br /> B. industrialization and transportation<br /> C. natural resources and water<br /> D. household appliances and food<br /> Câu 30: The first paragraph means that _______.<br /> A. people who live in industrialized countries travel everywhere by car<br /> B. all things that make our lives convenient and comfortable need natural resources<br /> C. we need more finished products than raw materials<br /> D. people can enjoy more and more fresh air in the future<br /> Câu 31: According to the second paragraph, _______.<br /> A. people use more food and energy<br /> B. there will be no poor people<br /> C. population will decrease<br /> D. many people will become poorer<br /> Câu 32: According to the text, _______.<br /> A. industrialization and urbanization have greater demand for water<br /> B. everybody on earth :will be supplied enough safe water in the future<br /> C. we will find more and more sources of safe water<br /> D. clean water is always available for everybody all the -time<br /> Câu 33: Natural resources _______.<br /> A. will never be used up<br /> B. have been the subject of the media for many years<br /> C. have not ever been mentioned by the media<br /> D. are being renovated .<br /> Câu 34: Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word having the underlined part<br /> pronounced differently from the rest.<br /> A. clothes<br /> B. accountants<br /> C. inventions<br /> D. interviews<br /> Câu 35: Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to the<br /> following question.<br /> His boss made him give up the job.<br /> A.
