I. Read the following text then answer the questions that follow by marking its
corresponding letter A, B, C, or D in your answer sheet.
Upon the creation of the United States, one of the core concepts which the
hopes for the new democracy were pinned was the ideal that its citizens would be
enlightened individuals with clearly articulated rights and the opportunity for
individual achievement and education. It was believed that in a free nation where the
power belongs to the people, the commitment to education defines the progress of that
democracy and is the catalyst for future progress. This core value has not only stood
the test of time but has also grown in importance. In this new Information Era and
international economy, education is an increasingly vital commodity, a precursor of
potential success and a driving force of chance. It is important to recognize, however,
that we approach education today differently than in the past, partly because the kinds
of jobs people had didn’t require the kind of basic education and specialized training
that is often required in the workforce today. In the 1950s, for instance, only 20
percent of American jobs were classified as professional, 20 percent as skilled; and 60
percent as unskilled. Today, our world has changed. The proportion of unskilled jobs
has fallen to 20 percent, while jobs now account for at least 60 percent of the
workforce. Even more important, almost every job today increasingly requires a
combination of academic knowledge and practical skills that require learning
throughout a lifetime.
01. The passage shows the percentage of jobs that require higher training in the


US____ between 1950s and now.
A. has changed dramatically B. has been reversed C. has changed slightly
D. has remained the same
02. Which of the following titles would be best for the passage?
A. The Significant Role of Education in American Citizens’ Careers.
B. Education and Jobs in the Past and at Present in the United States.
C. Recent Changes of Educational and Vocational Systems in America.
D. Academic Knowledge and Practical Skills in American Professions.
03. In order to become a good American citizen today, in the author’s point of view,
any individual must ____.
A. move actively forward in the new Information Era and international economy
with a prestigious diploma.
B. understand thoroughly the combination of academic knowledge and practical
skills.

III. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Telling the Whole Food Truth As a teacher of whole-food vegetarian cookery, I
do feel a certain sympathy with the ‘Men for Meat’ group. There is both confusion and
just plain, unappetizing cooking in this area, when a whole-food/ vegetable diet should
and can be highly nutritious and utterly delicious.
The words ‘whole-food’ and ‘vegetarian’ are not synonymous: vegetarians do
not eat any ‘fish, flesh or fowl’. Most eat dairy products. Those who don’t are called
vegans. I tell students not to turn vegetarian until they have become knowledgeable
about nutrition, and especially about protein. It’s very easy to become a sick
vegetarian.
And a whole-food diet just consists of eating the whole of food, with nothing
added, and nothing taken away. For example, you eat whole-wheat flour, not white
flour, which has had had bleach added. In all, no refined carbohydrates are eaten and
very fatty and additive-laden foods are avoided and the stress is on fresh products of

the best quality. And that’s all - except you must then find recipes which are both
healthy and delicious because you’ll have to cook it all yourself. Very few ready-
bought meals fulfill both requirements.
16. ‘Men for Meat’ is a _____.
A. group that eat all kinds of food B. group of vegetarians C. cookery
group D. group of men
17. A whole food diet _____.
A. has a lot of nutrition B. is often fresh
C. is easy to eat D. is added with flour.

_____.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 06 to 15.
Experiments have shown that in selecting personnel for a job, interviewing is at best a
hindrance, and may even cause harm. These studies have disclosed that the judgments of
interviewers differ markedly and bear little or no relationship to the adequacy of the job applicants.
Of the many reasons why this should be the case, three in particular stand out.
The first reason is related to an error of judgment known as the halo effect. If a person has
one noticeable good trait, their other characteristics will be judged as better than they really are.
Thus, an individual who dresses smartly and shows self-confidence is likely to be judged capable of
doing a job well regardless of his or her real ability.
Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primacy effect. This error occurs
when interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier connected information. Hence, in an
interview situation, the interviewer spends most of the interview trying to confirm the impression
given by the candidate in the first few moments. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that such an
impression is unrelated to the aptitude of the applicant.
The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of interviewers. A
suitable candidate may be underestimated because he or she contrasts with a previous one who
appears exceptionally intelligent. Likewise, an average candidate who is preceded by one who gives
a weak showing may be judged as more suitable than he or she really is.
Since interviews as a form of personnel selection have been shown to be inadequate, other
selection procedures have been devised which more accurately predict candidate suitability. Of the
various tests devised, the predictor which appears to do this most successfully is cognitive ability as
measured by a variety of verbal and spatial tests.
Question 06. The word “they” in line 7 refers to _______.
A. applicants B. judgments C. interviewers D.
characteristics

Question 08. This passage mainly discusses the _______.

A. judgments of interviewers concerning job applicants B. inadequacy of
interviewing job applicants
C. effects of interviewing on job applicants D. techniques that interviewers use for judging
job applicants
Question 09. According to the passage, the hallo effect _______.
A. exemplifies how one good characteristic color perceptions B. takes effect only when a
candidate is well-dressed
C. stands out as the worst judgmental error D. helps the interviewer’s capability
to judge real ability

is the oldest known subsistence strategy and has been practised for at least the last two million years.
It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of wild
animals were introduced about 10,000 years ago.
Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins,
their numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments, such as
deserts and arctic wastelands. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the
availability of plant life. Such conditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting, and on
fishing along the coasts and waterways. The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the
tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants. In
short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the
development of subsistence societies.
Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know
from the observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on
hunting and gathering must be very mobile. While the entire community camps in a central location,
a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp. When the food in the
area has become exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also notice seasonal
migration patterns evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between
the sexes. These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practised by mankind during the
Paleolithic Period.

Question 1 to 5: Read the passage and choose the correct answer. Identify your choice by marking
A, B, C or D on the answer sheet.
History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound
films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public
performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by
a single pianist, a small band, or a full – scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound effect
machines. Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures –
called “synchronized sound” – began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized
sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented
gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system.
The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for
example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed. This system was
only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence.
In the “sound-on-film” system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which
could be read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image,

guaranteeing synchronization. Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This
system eventually brought us “talking picture”.
Câu 1: It can be inferred that ________.

was _________.
A. read by an optical sensor B. marked on the gramophone

responses. The idea was first (12) ____ by a French physiologist, Israel Way Baum, in 1906. He
believed that different facial (13) ____ affected the flow of blood to the brain, and that this could
create positive or negative feelings. A happy smile or irrepressible (14) ___ increased the blood flow
and contributed to joyful feelings. But sad, angry expressions decreased the flow of oxygen-carrying
blood, and created a vicious circle of gloom and depression by effectively starving the brain of
essential fuel.

Question 31 to 40: Read the passage and choose the correct answer. Identify your choice by

marking A, B, C or D on the answer sheet.
In the course its history, human inventions have dramatically increased the average amount of
energy available for use per person. Primitive peoples in cold regions burned wood and animal dung
to heat their caves, cook food, and drive off animals by fire. The first step toward the developing of
more efficient fuels was taken when people discovered that they could use vegetable oils and animal
17
Tuyển tập 80 đề thi thử THPT QUỐC GIA môn Tiếng Anh năm 2015 (kèm đáp án)
fats in lieu of gathered or cut wood. Charcoal gave off a more intensive heat than wood and was
more easily obtainable than organic fats. The Greeks first began to use coal for metal smelting in the
14
th
century, but it did not come extensive use until the Industrial Revolution.
In the 1700s, at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, most energy used in the United
States and other nations undergoing industrialization was obtained from perpetual and renewable
sources, such as wood, water streams, domesticated animal labour, and wind. These were
predominantly locally available supplies. By mid-1800s, 91 percent of all commercial energy
consumed in the United States and European countries was obtained from wood. However, at the
beginning of the 20
th
century, coal became a major energy source and replaced wood in
industrializing countries. Although in most regions and climate zones wood was more readily
accessible than coal, the latter represents a more concentrate source of energy. In 1910, natural gas
and oil firmly replaced coal as the main source of fuel because they are lighter and, therefore,
cheaper to transport. They burned more cleanly than coal and polluted less. Unlike coal, oil could be
refined to manufacture liquid fuels for vehicles, a very important consideration in early 1900s, when
the automobile arrived on the scene.
By 1984, nonrenewable fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, provided over 82
percent of the commercial and industrial energy used in the world. Small amounts of energy were
derived from nuclear fission, and the remaining 16 percent came from burning direct perpetual and
renewable fuels, such as biomass. Between 1700 and 1986, a large number of countries shifted from

the use of energy from local sources to a centralized generation of hydropower and solar energy
converted to electricity. The energy derived from nonrenewable fossil fuels has created a dependency
on a finite resource that will have to be replaced.
Alternative fuel sources are numerous, and shale oil and hydrocarbons are just two examples.
The extraction of shale oil from large deposits in Asia and European regions has proven to be labor
consuming and costly. The resulting product is sulfur-and nitrogen rich, and large-scale extractions
are presently prohibitive. Similarly, the extraction of hydrocarbons from tar sands in Alberta and
Utah is complex. Semi-solid hydrocarbons cannot be easily separated from the sandstone and
limestone that carry them, and modern technology is not sufficiently versatile for a large-scale
removal of the material. However, both sources of fuel may eventually be needed as petroleum
prices continue to rise and limitations in fossil fuel availability make alternative deposits more
attractive.
Câu 31: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Applications of various fuels. B. Natural resources and fossil fuels.
C. A history of energy use. D. A historical overview of energy rates.
Câu 32: In line 2, the phrase “per person” is close in meaning to___.
A. per capita B. per year C. per family D. per day
Câu 33: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that___.
A. coal mining was essential for primitive peoples. B. the Greeks used coal in industrial
production
C. the development of efficient fuels was gradual process D. the discovery of efficient fuels was
mostly accidental.
Câu 34: The author of the passage implies that in the 1700s, sources of energy were___.
A. used for commercial purposes B. used in various combinations
C. not derived from mineral deposits D. not always easy to locate

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 25 to 34
Sleep is a natural process, and although a lot have been written about the subject, it is still
surrounded by mystery. It is used by some as an escape from the world, and regarded by others as an
irritating waste of time: some people get by on very little, others claim they can not exist without at
least ten hours, but nobody can do without sleep completely.
Our night’s sleep does not just consist of a steady phase of gradually deepening sleep. It alternates
between two stages: Non-dreaming or ordinary sleep, and REM (rapid eye movement) or dreaming
sleep. As soon as we fall asleep, we go straight into non-dreaming sleep for an hour or so, then into
REM sleep for about 15 minutes, then back into non-dreaming sleep. It alternates in this way for the
rest of the night, with non-dreaming sleep tending to last longer at the beginning of the night. Non-
dreaming sleep occupies three-quarters of our night’s sleep, about a quarter of it deep and the rest
fairly light.

It is widely believed that sleep repairs the body and makes good the damage caused by being
awake. However, its main function is to refresh the brain. Experts believe that probably only about
two-thirds of our sleep is necessary for repairing and refreshing the brain, with the most valuable
sleep coming in the first few hours of the non-dreaming period, the last few hours of sleep are not so
essential. The brain can manage quite well with reduced sleep as long as it is uninterrupted sleep.
The quality of sleep is important. A study conducted in the USA looked at short sleepers, who
slept for 5.5 hours on average, and long sleepers, who had 8.5 hours or more. It is discovered after a
variety of tests that the long sleepers were poor sleepers, had twice as much REM sleep as the short
sleepers, appeared to sleep longer to make up for poor sleep, and did not wake up in the morning
refreshed. Similarly, people who sleep deeply are not necessarily getting a better quality of sleep
than shallow sleepers. Deep sleepers can feel tired the following day, so six hours of good sleep is

worth more than eight hours of troubled sleep.

B. us to repair our body D. our brain to rest and recover
