ĐỀ 1: TRƯỜNG THPT CHUYÊN PHAN BỘI CHÂU – NGHỆ AN (LẦN 3)
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 35 to 44.

Bird migration is one of the most interesting yet least understood natural phenomena. Every fall birds
from northern latitudes fly in groups to the warmer southern latitudes and then return north in the spring.
Scientists agree on the main reasons for migration: to follow the food supply and to avoid harsh climate
conditions. For example, insects disappear during the cold months, prompting insect-dependent birds to fly
south to warm areas where insects breed. No similar consensus has emerged, however, about how birds are able
to navigate. Despite many recent experiments, bird experts still do not know how birds arrive at the same
destinations every year and then find their way back home in the spring.
Some have suggested that birds find their way by following landmarks, such as rivers and mountain
ranges. Experiments have confirmed that some species do follow such topographic features. But that method
cannot explain how some birds travel at night. Other studies show that some nocturnal birds navigate by the
stars. But that explanation cannot explain daytime migration or travel when the skies are cloudy.
The most popular explanation currently is that birds are guided by Earth‟s magnetic poles. The mechanism by
which that works has not yet been proved. One theory points to the fact that some birds‟ contain magnetite, a
naturally occurring magnetic compound consisting of iron oxide. Magnetite has been found in many animals,
including birds. With magnets embedded in their brains, birds would be able to sense the magnetic fields of the
North and South Poles.
A recent experiment with homing pigeons provided some evidence that magnetite does play a crucial
role in migration. Homing pigeons are known to have the ability to return to their homes after being taken
hundreds of miles away. Researchers found that they could train homing pigeons to recognize changes in a
magnetic field. When a surrounding magnetic field was normal, the birds would gather at one end of a cage. But
when the field‟s polarity was altered, they hopped to the other end, suggesting that they were directing and
responding to changes in the magnetic field.
Another theory has been offered to explain this sensitivity to magnetic poles, a theory that draws upon
quantum mechanics, which is the study of how particles move inside an atom. It relies on the fact that electrons
come in pairs that orbits the nucleus of an atom. The two electrons spin in opposite directions, creating two

magnets that neutralize each other. But when molecules split and react with other molecules to form
compounds, the electrons pairs may no longer spin in opposite directions. Instead, they may repel each other, as
when two north ends of magnets are pressed together. The electrons struggle to change direction in order to
achieve a stable state in which the two electrons again neutralize each other, giving off no magnetic field.

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 35 to 44.
Charles Lindbergh was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1902 but was raised on a farm in Minnesota, where
his father was elected to the U.S. Congress in 1907. From then on, he spent his boyhood alternately in
Washington, D.C, and Little Falls, Minnesota. Because Lindbergh exhibited exceptional mechanical talent, in
1921 he was admitted to the university of Wisconsin to study engineering. However the young man was seeking
more challenging endeavors, and two years later he became a stunt pilot who performed feats at county fairs
and public assemblies. This unusual and dangerous undertaking paid off handsomely in the sense that it
allowed him to gain a diverse and well- rounded experience in aeronautics. He particularly delighted in what he
called "wing-walking" and parachute jumping.
After a year of training as a military cadet, Lindbergh completed his program at the Brooks and Kelly
airfields at the top of his class and earned the rank of captain. Roberton Aircraft Corporation of St. Louis,
Missouri, offered him employment as a mail pilot to run the routes between St. Louis and Chicago, and
Lindbergh retained his position with the company until 1927. During this period, he set out to win the Raymond
B. Orteig prize of $ 25,000 to be awarded to the first pilot to fly nonstop from New York to Paris. This ambition
would irreversibly change his life and accord him a prominent place in the history of aviation.

Embarking on the greatest adventure of his time, Lindbergh left Roosevelt Field at 7:52 A.M on May,
20, 1927, and landed at Bourget Field at 5:24 P.M the next day. Fearing that he would be unknown when he
arrived, Lindbergh carried letters of introduction to dignitaries in Paris, but when his plane came to a stop, he
was overwhelmed by tremendous welcoming crowds. He was decorated in France, Great Britain, and Belgium,
and President Coolidge sent a specially designated cruiser, the Memphis, to bring him back. His
accomplishments in aeronautics brought him more medals and awards than had ever been received by any other
person in private life.

TEST 3: CHUYÊN SƯ PHẠM HÀ NỘI – LẦN 3
When jazz began to lose its reputation as “low-down” music and to gain well-deserved acclaim among
intellectuals, musicians began to feature many instruments previously considered inappropriate for jazz.
Whereas before the 1950s, jazz musicians played only eight basic instruments in strict tempo, in this decade
they started to improvise on the flute, electric organ, piccolo, accordion, cello, and even bagpipes, with the
rhythm section composed for strings or piano. Big bands no longer dominated jazz, and most changes emerged
from small combos, such as the Dave Brubeck Quartet and the Gerry Mulligan Quartet. The Gerry Mulligan
Quartet proved that a small, modern band could sound complete without a piano; the rhythm section consisted
only of a set of drums and a string bass.
Jazz continued to move in new directions during the 1960s. Saxophonist and composer Ornette Coleman
led a quartet playing “free” jazz that was atonal. Pianist Cecil Taylor also conducted similar experiments with
music, and John Coltrane included melodies from India in his compositions. In the 1970s, musicians blended
jazz and rock music into fusion jazz which combined the melodies and the improvisations of jazz with the
rhythmic qualities of rock „n‟ roll, with three or five beats to the bar and in other meter. The form of jazz music
was greatly affected by electric instruments and electronic implements to intensify, distort, or amplify their
sounds. However, the younger musicians of the time felt compelled to include a steady, swinging rhythm which
they saw as a permanent and essential element in great jazz.
Question 45: Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. Popular Beats in Classical and Modern Jazz
B. Quintessential Moments in Jazz Music
C. The Achievements of Famous Jazz Musicians
D. The Rising Prestige and Deversity of Jazz

TEST 4: CHUYÊN NGUYỄN HUỆ - LẦN 1

Most forms of property are concrete and tangible, such as houses, cars, furniture or anything else that is
included in one‟s possessions. Other forms of property can be intangible and copyright deals with intangible
forms of property. Copyright is a legal protection extended to authors of creative works, for example, books,
magazine articles, maps, films, plays, television shows, software, paintings, photographs, music, choreography
in dance and all other forms of intellectual or artistic property.
Although the purpose of artistic property is usually public use and enjoyment, copyright establishes the
ownership of the creator. When a person buys a copyrighted magazine, it belongs to this individual as a tangible
object. However, the authors of the magazine articles own the research and the writing that went into creating
the articles. The right to make and sell or give away copies of books or articles belongs to the authors,
publishers, or other individuals or organizations that hold the copyright. To copy an entire book or a part of it,
permission must be received from the copyright owner, who will most likely expect to be paid.
Copyright law distinguishes between different types of intellectual property. Music may be played by anyone
after it is published. However, if it is performed for profit, the performers need to pay a fee, called a royalty. A
similar principle applies to performances of songs and plays. On the other hand, names, ideas, and book titles
are accepted. Ideas do not become copyrighted property until they are published in a book, a painting or a
musical work. Almost all artistic work created before the 20th century is not copyrighted because it was created
before the copyright law was passed.
The two common ways of infringing upon the copyright are plagiarism and piracy. Plagiarizing the
work of another person means passing it off as one‟s own. The word plagiarism is derived from the Latin
plagiarus, which means “abductor”. Piracy may be an act of one person, but, in many cases, it is a joint effort of
several people who reproduce copyrighted material and sell it for profit without paying royalties to the creator.
Technological innovations have made piracy easy and anyone can duplicate a motion picture on videotape, a
computer program, or a book. Video cassette recorders can be used by practically anyone to copy movies and
television programs, and copying software has become almost as easy as copying a book. Large companies
zealously monitor their copyrights for slogans, advertisements, and brand names, protected by a trademark.
Question 41: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Legal rights of property owners

B. Legal ownership of creative work

C. Examples of copyright piracy

D. Copying creating work for profit

Bài văn nói về “copyright” (= bản quyền), danh từ này được lặp lại trong tất cả các đoạn. Legal ownership of
creative work = sự sở hữu theo luật pháp của những tác phẩm trí tuệ
Question 42: The word “extended” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. explicated

B. exposed

C. guaranteed

D. granted


Extend to N = mở rộng cho đối tượng nào; dành cho đối tượng nào. Grant something to somebody = trao cái gì
cho ai
Question 43: It can be inferred from the passage that copyright law is intended to protect _______.
A. paintings and photographs from theft

B. the creator‟s ability to profit from the work

C. the user‟s ability to enjoy an artistic work

D. computer software and videos from being copied

Câu cuối đoạn 2: To copy an entire book or a part of it, permission must be received from the copyright owner,
who will most likely expect to be paid ---> để sao chép một cuốn sách hoặc một phần, phải được sự cho phép từ
người giữ bản quyền người được kì vọng là sẽ được trả phí -> luật bản quyền bảo vệ khả năng thu lợi nhuận từ

sáng tác của tác giả

TEST 5: CHUYÊN ĐH VINH LẦN 1
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all
the time. If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between

the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to
make his language like other people‟s. In the same way, children learn all the other things they learn to do
without being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own performances with those
of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to
find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he
would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he
becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he
wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing
this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let
him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to
help the child when he tells us that he can‟t find the way to get the right answer. Let‟s end all this nonsense of
grades, exams, and marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must
someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school
teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest
of one‟s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers
say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?”
Don‟t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.
Question 6: What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?
A. By listening to explanations from skilled people
B. By making mistakes and having them corrected
C. By asking a great many questions
D. By copying what other people do
Thông tin: “children learn all the other things they learn to do without being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle,
ride a bicycle – compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the
needed changes.”

A. They encourage children to copy from one another
B. They point out children‟s mistakes to them
C. They allow children to mark their own work
D. They give children correct answers
Thông tin ở câu: “in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct
them.” Giáo viên thường chỉ ra những sai sót cho trẻ, đây là điều tác giả nghĩ giáo viên không nên làm

Question 10: The word “those” in the first paragraph refers to _______.
A. skills

B. things

C. performances

D. changes

“those” được thay thế cho từ “performances” trong cụm “their own performances” ở phía trước

“Talking, climbing and whistling”
Question 12: Exams, grades and marks should be abolished because children‟s progress should only be
estimated by__________.
A. parents

B. the children themselves

C. teachers

D. educated persons

Thông tin ở cuối đoạn 2: “let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure
their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.” Quá trình của trẻ nên được đánh giá

B. imperative

C. important

D. necessarily

“essential” = “important” (adj): quan trọng, thiết yếu, cần thiết
Thật ra, “essential” cũng đồng nghĩa với “necessary”, nhưng đáp án D lại là một trạng từ “necessarily” nên
không thể chọn D
Question 15: The author fears that children will grow up into adults who are_________.

A. unable to think for themselves

B. too independent of others

C. unable to use basic skills

D. too critical of themselves

Đây là ý rút ra từ toàn bộ bài đọc. Tác giả sợ rằng, trẻ sẽ trở thành người mà không thể nghĩ cho bản thân, vì cứ
được người lớn chỉ ra những sai sót và dạy cách sửa…Trẻ không tự mình làm được mọi việc. Tác giả đã đề cập:
“let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding,
how to know what they know or do not know.” Hãy để trẻ tự suy nghĩ cho bản thân và làm mọi việc
