MỞ ĐẦU

Sự thay đổi trong dạng đề thi luôn gây ra sự xáo trộn không nhỏ trong việc giảng dạy
và học tập của giáo viên và học sinh. Kỳ thi tốt nghiệp năm nay có nhiều biến động do môn
Ngoại ngữ không còn là môn thi bắt buộc và cấu trúc đề thi sẽ có thêm phần tự luận. Nhiều
giáo viên, nhất là giáo viên mới ra trường, có nhiều bỡ ngỡ trong việc ôn thi tự luận cho học

sinh. Trong tham luận này, tôi xin trình bày các dạng bài tập tự luận được trình bày trong
sách giáo khoa (SGK) lớp 12, nhằm giúp chúng ta cùng định hướng dạng tự luận cần ôn tập
cho học sinh trong kỳ thi tốt nghiệp sắp tới.

Vậy nên, chúng tôi đưa ra tài liệu: “Tuyển tập các đề thi thử THPT Quốc Gia năm
2015 môn Tiếng Anh” nhằm đáp ứng nhu cầu trên của các thí sinh và các thầy (cô) giảng
dạy.
Bộ tài liệu là công trình tập thể của nhóm tác giả biên soạn bao gồm: Nguyễn Thị
Phương Anh (chủ biên), Cô Đàm Cẩm Thanh, Lê Thị Thanh Nga và Nguyễn Bá Anh Bao
gồm 2 phần chính:
 Phần 1: Tuyển tập các đề thi và đáp án của các trường THPT trên cả nước
mới cập nhật. Với phần này các thí sinh có thể tham khảo cách ra đề, cấu trúc
đề để không bị bỡ ngỡ khi cầm đề thi.
 Phần 2: Các dạng bài tập tự luận ôn thi TN THPT Quốc Gia. Các thí sinh có
thể tham khảo và hình dung trước dạng đề thi tự luận.

Viết tài liệu này, chúng tôi đã tham khảo kinh nghiệm của nhiều đồng nghiệp đã giảng
dạy môn Toán nhiều năm ở khối trường THPT. Chúng tôi xin chân thành cám ơn các nhà
giáo, các nhà khoa học đã đọc bản thảo và đóng góp ý kiến xác đáng.

Chúng tôi cũng xin chân thành cám ơn Ban Quản trị của trang
all-lovebooks.blogspot.com đã tận tình phát triển và khẩn trương trong việc phát hành tài
liệu này.
Chúng tôi rất mong nhận được những ý kiến đóng góp nhận xét của bạn đọc đối với
bộ tài liệu này.

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.

Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of
communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of
oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign
language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the
mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words
are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or
unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A
nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots
read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and
picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and
techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.

her life.

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

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

I. MULTIPLE CHOICES (64 Questions; 8.0 points)

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.
Rachel Carson was born in 1907 in Springsdale, Pennsylvania. She studied biology at
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 first 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 nontechnical 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 proved by a 1963 report of the President’s Science Advisory Committee.

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.
Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of
communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of
oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign
language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the
mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words
are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or
unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A
nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots
read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and
picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and
techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.

B. verbalization is the most common form of communication
C. the deaf and mute use an oral form of communication
D. ideas and thoughts can be transmitted by body language

Question 25: Which form other than oral speech would be most commonly used among
blind people?
A. Picture signs B. Braille C. Body language D. Signal flags
