Xin chào tất cả các em, chúng mình cùng tiếp tục chuỗi các câu hỏi ôn tập thi vào lớp 10 môn Tiếng Anh cùng Hoc24 nhé!

Read the following article about how to be environmentally friendly and decide in which paragraph (A - E) the following are mentioned. Write your answer (A, B, C, D, or E). Write one letter for each answer. The paragraphs may be chosen more than once.

A. FAIR TRADE

Farmers in developing countries are some of the most vulnerable people on earth, prey to world commodity markets, middlemen and the weather. So-called “fair trade” arrangements guarantee co-operative groups a price above the world market and a bonus on top. The growing fair-trade market has distributed hundreds of millions of pounds to more than 50 million people worldwide. But critics say that fair trade will never lift a country out of poverty; indeed, it may keep it there, because the money generated from the sale goes almost in its entirety to rich countries which promote the products. As a simple guide, only about 5% of the sale price of a fair-trade chocolate bar may actually go to a poor country.

B. ORGANIC FOOD

For food to be organic it must be free of added chemicals, both in the growing of the food and in the killing of the pests that might damage the crop. In a world where many manufactured chemicals have never been properly tested for safety, this is a very big selling point. Parents are thus prepared to pay a premium for organic food, especially when chemicals suspected of causing a variety of problems have been found, albeit in tiny quantities, in most children’s blood. The problem is that many farmers have not switched to organic in sufficient numbers to satisfy this growing market. As a result, supermarkets are often forced to fly vegetables as they can label “organic” halfway around the world, at a great cost to the planet in extra greenhouse gases. Environmentalists are now urging shoppers to buy locally produced vegetables, even if they are not organic and have been sprayed with pesticides.

C. RECYCLING

A great shift has taken place in the way we think about rubbish. Where once we were happy to bury it in landfills or dump it at sea, we are now being urged by national and local governments to recycle it and think of waste as a resource. The wheelie-bin culture is being replaced by a series of kerbside collections for paper, metals, plastic, bottles, clothes and compost. The idea is to cut landfill as well as saving the planet. It is, however, having some unexpected consequences. Most of Britain's plastic and paper is now being sent for recycling in China or India, which creates more greenhouse gases just to get it there, plus workers then have to separate it. Meanwhile, some paper and bottles carefully sorted out by householders end up being dumped in landfills after all, because the demand for recycled materials constantly fluctuates.

D. BEING CARBON NEUTRAL

If you want to make yourself feel better about the planet, there are lots for you to ease your conscience by becoming “carbon neutral”. One of the most appealing methods is to pay for someone to plant trees, preferably creating or regenerating new forests. The theory is that trees grow by absorbing carbon dioxide and giving out oxygen storing the carbon in their trunks. But woods and forests create their own mini-climate, which collects and stores water and creates rainclouds. Added to this, there is the potential problem that planting trees often releases carbon stored in the soil – and what happens if the forests catch fire, or are chopped down and harvested for timber? Another and perhaps better solution might be to invest in small-scale hydro-electric schemes, so that people who live in the Himalayas, for example, and currently do not have electricity, can develop a 21st-century lifestyle without polluting the planet.

E. ECO-TOURISM

The idea of “green” tourism is to persuade local people not to chop down forests, shoot elephants or wipe out tigers, but to preserve them so rich tourists visit and peer at the wildlife through binoculars. Unfortunately, the best money is made from reintroducing animals for trophy hunting by the very rich- an idea which does not always meet with approval and has caused much debate. While tourists may help sustain some national parks, they often create as many problems as they solve. One is that they tend to demand all mod cons in their hotels, such as a great deal of water for showers; a luxury sometimes not available for locals. Eco-tourism, when properly managed, can offer the locals and the animals a brighter future. Sometimes, though, the only winners are a few business people who own hotels.

 

In which section is the following mentioned?

a controversial pastime that rises considerable money?Question 1. ______ 
an action that creates a different weather patternQuestion 2. ______ 

an undesirable result of unnecessary global transportation

(NB. You must provide two different option)

Bài 1. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.

If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a disaster. According to several scientists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.

However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well - especially if the parents are very supportive of their child.

Michael is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael's mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.

Winston, Michael's friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

Question 1: One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to …………

A. push their child into trying too much   

B. help their child to become a genius   

C. make their child become a musician   

D. neglect their child's education

Question 2: Parents' ambition for their children is not wrong if they ………….

A. force their children into achieving success   

B. themselves have been very successful   

C. understand and help their children sensibly   

D. arrange private lessons for their children

Question 3: Michael is fortunate in that ………..

   A. his father is a musician   B. his parents are quite rich   

   C. his mother knows little about music   D. his parents help him in a sensible way

Question 4: Winston's parents push their son so much and he ………..

   A. has won a lot of piano competitions   

   B. cannot learn much music from them   

   

   C. has become a good musician   

   D. is afraid to disappoint them

Question 5: The two examples given in the passage illustratethe principle that ……….

   A. successful parents always have intelligent children   

   

   B. successful parents often have unsuccessful children   

   

   C. parents should let the child develop in the way he wants   

   

   D. parents should spend more money on the child's education

​Recently, we made a trip to visit Dong Ho village with a desire to meet the old artisan – Nguyen Huu Sam. Just when we arrived villagers at the dyke in the village and talked with the villagers about the artisan, they immediately told us about him.

The old house owned by the artisan is situated in a long alley of the village. On the walls of the house there are many folk paintings in different genres, from daily life paintings to landscape paintings shown in a set of “four seasons”.

Mr. Sam told us about his past. When he was three years old, he was instructed in the craft of making Dong Ho paintings by his father. At five, he could help his father apply the Dong Ho paintings, and learn how to print the paper with proper colours. At seven, he was able to draw with a pen and make the most difficult samples. Years went by and the soul of Dong Ho folk paintings has kept seashell powder paint to the poonah-paper.

​In the 1940s, this craft flourished. At that time, he was assigned by his parents to take the paintings to the market for sale. Mr. Sam said that 17 families in the village have been engaged in making Dong Ho paintings.

​Artisan Sam has always been devoted to the making of Dong Ho paintings and has waited for opportunities to restore this traditional craft. In 1967, when the local authorities assigned him to restore the traditional genre of Dong Ho folk paintings, he gathered 50 villagers with professional skills and collected hundreds of woodblocks to establish the Dong Ho Painting Cooperative. Thanks to his efforts, such famous painting as "Rat's wedding", “Rooster”, “Scene of jealousy” and “Writing verses about precious flowers" have been revived. Dong Ho paintings have been available in many parts of the world such as Japan, France, Germany, Singapore and the United States.

36.​The themes of Dong Ho paintings are about ​​.

A. landscapes​B. weddings​C. various aspects of life​D.animals and flowers

37.​In order to make Dong Ho paintings, we need seashell powder paint, the poonah-paper and ​​.

A. proper colours​B. water​C. markets​D. woodblocks

38.​From paragraph 3, we can infer that when Mr. Sam was very young, he mostly helped his parents by ​​

A.applying the woodblocks with proper paints and pressing them on sheets of paper​

B.applying seashell powder to make various paints for painting making​

C.drawing with a pen and using proper paints to make many copies of paintings​

D.collecting and taking the paintings to the market for sale

39.​All of the following can be inferred about the artisan - Mr. Sam – EXCEPT that ​​.

A.he is popular in the village​

B.he could paint when he was three

C.he keeps a collection of Dong Ho paintings in his house​

D.the local authorities tried to revive the traditional genre

40.​In the writer's opinions, the future of Dong Ho paintings is ​​. ​

A.international​B.concerning​C.optimistic​​D.negative

Interviewer: We have invited some students from Oak Tree School in Happy Valley to this Beyond 2030 forum, and they are going to share with us their vision of the future. Would you like to go first, Phong? 

Phong: I believe the biggest change will take place within the school system. Apart from at school, we will also be learning from places which will give us real-life knowledge and experience, such as at a railway station, in a company, or on a farm.

Mai: I agree. This real-life application of learning will give us a sense of participation, a feeling that we are part of the process.

Interviewer: And what about the role of teachers? 

Phong: Ah, they will be more like facilitators, rather than information providers. 

Interviewer: Fascinating. How else do you see the future, Nguyen?

Nguyen: Well, I think the role of fathers will drastically change.

Interviewer: Oh yes? In what way?

Nguyen: The modern father will not necessarily be the breadwinner of the family. He may be externally employed or he may stay at home to take care of his children. 

Interviewer: And do the housework?

Nguyen:  Yes. It’s work, paid or not, isn’t it? 

Mai: Absolutely. The benefi t will be that children will see their fathers more often and have a closer relationship with them. I don’t see much of my dad, but I love every moment I spend with him. 

Interviewer: Well, we are certainly covering some interesting topics …

Người phỏng vấn: Chúng tôi đã mời vài bạn học sinh đến từ trường Cây Sồi ở Thung lũng Hạnh Phúc đến tham gia diễn đàn Beyond 2030 và họ sẽ chia sẻ với chúng ta tầm nhìn của các em về tương lai. Em sẽ nói đầu tiên nhé, Phong?

Phong: Em tin rằng sự thay đổi lớn nhất sẽ diễn ra bên trong hệ thống giáo dục. Ngoài trường học, chúng ta cũng sẽ học từ những nơi cho chúng ta kiến thức và kinh nghiệm sống thực tế như nhà ga, công ty hoặc ở một nông trại.

Mai: Mình đồng ý. Việc học có sự áp dụng vào cuộc sống thực tế này sẽ cho chúng ta có thấy mình là người trong cuộc, một cảm giác rằng chúng ta là một phần của quá trình.

Người phỏng vấn: Thế còn vai trò của giáo viên thì sao?

Phong: À, họ sẽ giống người cố vấn hơn là người cung cấp thông tin.

Người phỏng vấn: Hấp dẫn đó. Em nhìn thấy tương lai như thế nào nữa, Nguyên?

Nguyên: À, em nghĩ vai trò của người cha sẽ thay đổi mạnh mẽ.

Người phỏng vấn: Ồ thế ư? Bằng cách nào?

Nguyên: Người cha hiện đại sẽ không cần thiết là trụ cột của gia đình, ông ta có thể là người ra ngoài lao động hoặc có thể ở nhà để chăm sóc con cái.

Người phỏng vấn: Và làm việc nhà?

Nguyên: Vâng, đó cũng là công việc, dù có được trả lương hay không, phải không ạ?

Mai: Chắc chắn rồi. Lợi ích có được là trẻ con sẽ được gặp cha của chúng thường xuyên hơn và có mối quan hệ khăng khít với họ hơn. Mình đã không được gặp cha mình nhiều nhưng mình quý mỗi khoảnh khắc ở bên cạnh ông ấy.

Người phỏng vấn: Được rồi, chúng ta chắc chắn sẽ đi qua vài chủ đề hấp dẫn nữa...

Người phỏng vấn: Chúng tôi đã mời một số học sinh từ Trường Oak Tree ở Happy Valley đến diễn đàn Beyond 2030 này và họ sẽ chia sẻ với chúng tôi tầm nhìn về tương lai. Bạn có muốn đi trước không, Phong? 

Phong: Tôi tin rằng sự thay đổi lớn nhất sẽ diễn ra trong hệ thống trường học. Ngoài ở trường, chúng tôi cũng sẽ học hỏi từ những nơi sẽ cung cấp cho chúng tôi kiến ​​thức và kinh nghiệm thực tế, chẳng hạn như tại nhà ga, trong một công ty hoặc trong một trang trại.

Mai: Tôi đồng ý. Ứng dụng học tập thực tế này sẽ cho chúng ta cảm giác tham gia, cảm giác rằng chúng ta là một phần của quá trình.

PV: Còn vai trò của giáo viên thì sao? 

Phong: Ah, họ sẽ giống như người hướng dẫn hơn là nhà cung cấp thông tin. 

Người phỏng vấn: Hấp dẫn. Làm thế nào khác để bạn nhìn thấy tương lai, Nguyễn?

Nguyễn: Chà, tôi nghĩ vai trò của những người cha sẽ thay đổi mạnh mẽ.

Người phỏng vấn: Ồ có? Bằng cách nào?

Nguyễn: Người cha hiện đại sẽ không nhất thiết phải là trụ cột của gia đình. Anh ta có thể làm việc bên ngoài hoặc anh ta có thể ở nhà để chăm sóc con cái. 

Người phỏng vấn: Và làm việc nhà?

Nguyễn: Vâng. Đó là công việc, được trả tiền hay không, phải không? 

Mai: Hoàn toàn đúng. Lợi ích sẽ là trẻ em sẽ nhìn thấy cha của chúng thường xuyên hơn và có mối quan hệ gần gũi hơn với chúng. Tôi không nhìn thấy bố tôi nhiều, nhưng tôi yêu từng khoảnh khắc tôi dành cho ông. 

PV: Chà, chắc chắn chúng tôi đang đề cập đến một số chủ đề thú vị

The perception of today’s youngsters as media-savvy cynics could hardly be further from the truth. Instead, this
generation of keen consumers may turn witty advertising into an endangered species. Julia Day reports

The youth of today are cynical, media-savvy, seen it all, done it all, wouldn’t-be-seen-dead-in-the-T-shirt types
who appreciate only the most achingly trendy adverts, TV shows and magazines, right? Wrong: that was so last generation.

Today’s youngsters don’t “get” clever ads, are not in the least suspicious of commercials ercials, don’t know the difference between newspapers’ political stances, or TV channels, and they don’t mind admitting it. In short, they are not half as media, marketing and advertising literate as we might have thought, according to new research
commissioned by five media groups – Guardian Newspapers, Channel 4, Carlton Screen Advertising, media buying
agency OMD, and Emap Advertising.

As a result media companies and advertisers are going back to basics to arouse the interest of 15- to 24-year-olds with instant impact messages, plain product pictures, bigger posters, annoying jingles, celebrity endorsements and repetitive ads. Today’s youth are a far cry from today’s thirtysomethings who grew up as commercially-naive kids weaned on the cold war, no national commercial radio, three national TV stations, grant-funded higher education, sponsorship-free Glastonbury festivals and regular strikes and student protests.

Now a lifetime of MTV, the internet, dawn-till-dusk advertising and PlayStation gaming has created a generation
so used to being bombarded with fast-turnover information, they filter it instantly without paying much attention to its meaning. This is a generation of “thoroughbred consumers” says Stuart Armon, managing director of 2cv: research, the company that conducted the so-called Roar research into the media habits of the nation’s youth. “Previous generations were suspicious of advertising, they might have liked ads, but they wouldn’t necessarily buy the product. But this generation has been consuming since they were born. They don’t see any reason to be suspicious,” says Armon.

One young panellist in the focus group research embodied this attitude: “If the advert is good, you think their
product will be good because the more they can spend on advertising, the more money they are obviously getting for
their product.” Armon says the trend has become more pronounced over the seven years that the continuous tracking
study has been running, but has reached a peak in the latest round of interviews with 600 youngsters.

“Advertising is accepted and expected. Young people don’t see anything wrong in being sold to and think that if a product is in a TV ad, it must be good. It’s a myth that they are interested in clever ads – they are not willing to decipher complicated mmessages, they want simple ones.” Many panellists dramatically illustrated this point by revealing they thought Budweiser’s “Real American Heroes” ad, ironically celebrating “Mr foot-long hot dog inventor”, was an ad for hot dogs rather than beer, even though the ad might not be aimed at them.

However, many loved Heineken’s ironic ad featuring Paul Daniels singing Close to You, purely because it made
them laugh. “They are looking for an instant message. If it’s not there, they don’t take any notice. And they literally,
and naively, believe celebrities in ads really use the products they are advertising,” says Armon. A girl panellist from Birmingham commented: “In some of the Nike ads they’ve got all these well-known footballers. You think, ‘Oh my God, they’ve got everybody famous there.’ You think it must be good if they want it.”

The youngsters only read newspapers for the celebrity gossip and sport, rather than news, and couldn’t distinguish between papers’ political stances. They also failed to distinguish between TV channels – they access TV through programmes, not channels, for example watching Sky because The Simpsons is on, not because it’s Sky.

The results of the research deeply worry Sid McGrath, planner at the ad agency that made the infamous “You’ve
been Tango’ed” ads, HHCL and Partners. But they do not surprise him. “My worry is that the youth of today are not
being called upon to flex their intellectual muscles enough,” he says.

“There is instant gratification everywhere – in food it’s Pot Noodles or vending machines, even their pop icons are one-dimensional figures delivered on a plate. Young people are living vicariously through other people’s lives and are not asking for much at the moment. A lot of stimulation is ‘lean back’ – it doesn’t require as much involvement as it used to.”

He says advertising is changing as a result: “Lots of the most popular ads at the moment are happy, clappy, fun.
Easy to digest. They’ve got notice or inclination to decode ads.” One reason behind the shift, McGrath believes, is that young people want relief from the traumas of real life: “Advertising is becoming the opium of the masses rather
than the educator.”

A. less perceptive B. more sensitive C. more worldly-wise D. better informed

BÀI 2:

There was nothing unusual about Wellington Street, or so I thought as I was growing up. The cobbled street, one
of four identical streets next to each other, was calm, apart from the occasional sound of raised voices from the pub on the corner. Everybody said hello to each other, although rarely much more than that. It was the kind of street that in the past had covered the whole of the north-west of England, affordable housing for the workers, the kind of street that used to be the heart of a community. Now it was a relic, unchanged while the modern world went on around it.

The first time I got a sense that my childhood world was not going to remain the same forever was when a letter
arrived from the local council saying that a meeting was being held locally to discuss the development of the area. I
remember wondering why areas had to be developed and I asked my father. He said that people just liked changing
things for the sake of it but my mum interrupted him and explained that the houses needed modernizing. Even then I
could see this as another move in their ongoing argument about money and location. Mum, with her keen sense of
social position and always very aware of what the neighbours thought, wanted to move into a better house, which Dad took to mean a more expensive house.

The evening of the meeting came around and my dad and I went along. It had already started when we got there
and one of the councilors was trying to explain the plans, although the general reaction from the audience was far from positive. I don’t remember the details, but I remember some shouting, until finally one of our neighbours stood up and said that he wasn’t giving his permission for any of it. I remember the councilor saying then, ‘We don’t need permission. We’re telling you, not asking you.’

The mood when we got home was tense. Although she tried to hide it, I think Mum was secretly quite pleased.

Dad sat and frowned at the TV for a while, before Mum brought him a cup of tea. I was surprised when it was he who broke the silence after a minute or two and said, ‘There are one or two nice places up around Ladybride.’ Mum said nothing. She just sipped her tea and looked at me and smiled.

46. The writer describes the street as a place where _____.
A. people felt they were part of a co unity B. people resisted the fast pace of motion life
C. everyone quietly got on with their own life D. everyone could afford their own house

C. who had organised the meeting D. where they were going to live next

A. He knew why the area had to be developed.
B. He didn’t understand why they wanted to change things.

50. Why did the mother’s mother want to move house?
A. She liked to impress other people. B. She didn’t like the neighbours.
