TRƯỜNG THPT LÊ XOAY ĐỀ THI THỬ ĐẠI HỌC LẦN 3 Môn: tiếng Anh Thời gian làm bài: 90 phút ( Không kể thời gian giao đề) Nội dung đề số 045 I. Read the following passage and choose the correct answers. Rachel Carson was born in 1907 in Springsdale, Pennsylvania. She studied biology in college and zoology at Johns Hopkins University, where she received her master’s degree in 1933. In 1936, she was hired by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where she worked most of her life. Carson’s book , Under the Sea Wind, was published in 1941. It received excellent reviews, but sales were poor until it was reissued in 1952. In that year, she published The Sea Around Us, which provided a fascinating look beneath the ocean’s surface, emphasizing human history as well as geology and marine biology. Her imagery and language had a poetic quality. Carson consulted no less than 1,000 printed sources. She had voluminous correspondence and frequent discussions with experts in the field. However, she always realized the limitations of her non technical readers. In 1962, Carson published Silent Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy. It proved how much harm was done by the uncontrolled, reckless use of insecticides. She detailed how they poison the food supply of animals, kill birds and fish, and contaminate human food. At the time, spokesmen for the chemical industry mounted personal attacks against Carson and issued propaganda to indicate that her findings were flawed. However, her work was vindicated by a 1963 report of the President’s Science Advisory Committee. 01. It can be inferred from the passage that in 1952, Carson’s book Under The Sea Wind __________ .

Read the passage and choose the correct answer. In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas. North America and Europe, recycling is big news. People are talking about it, practicing it , and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding was to use products a second time. The belief of the recycling movement is " Reduce, Reuse. Recycle". The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high- quality products. When low- quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high- quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop. The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the bottles , wash them , and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles. The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same a mount of energy to
make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources. 16. What is the main topic of the passage? A. what people often understand about the term 'recycle' B. what is involved in the recycling movement C. how to reduce garbage disposal D. how to live sensitively to the environment 17. Why is it a waste and customers buy low- quality products? A. Because they have to be repaired many times B. Because they produce less energy. C. Because customers change their ideas all the time. D. Because people will soon throw them away. 18. Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas? A. South America B. Middle East C. Asia D. Europe 19. The energy used to make a can is ________the energy used to run a color TV set for 3 hours. A. as much as B. more than C. less than D. not worth being compared to 20.
