Bacteria are extremely small living things. While we measure our own sizes in inches or
centimeters, bacterial size is measured in microns. One micron is a thousandth of a millimeter a
pinhead is about a millimeter across. Rod shaped bacteria are usually from two to tour microns long,

Trang 3/5 – Mã đề thi 120


Luyện đề thi THPT QG 2017 môn tiếng Anh (Đề thi thử số 1) | (Biên soạn)

while rounded ones are generally one micron in diameter Thus if you enlarged a founded bacterium a
thousand times, it would be just about the size of a pinhead. An adult human magnified by the same

amount would be over a mile (1.6 kilometers) tall.
Even with an ordinary microscope, you must look closely to see bacteria. Using a
magnification of 100 times, one finds that bacteria are barely visible as tiny rods or dots One cannot
make out anything of their structure. Using special stains, one can see that some bacteria have
attached to them wavy - looking "hairs" called flagella. Others have only one flagellum. The flagella
rotate, pushing the bacteria though the water. Many bacteria lack flagella and cannot move about by
their own power while others can glide along over surfaces by some little understood mechanism.
From the bacterial point of view, the world is a very different place from what it is to humans.
To a bacterium water is as thick as molasses is to us. Bacteria are so small that they are influenced by
the movements of the chemical molecules around them. Bacteria under the microscope, even those
with no flagella, often bounce about in the water. This is because they collide with the water
molecules and are pushed this way and that. Molecules move so rapidly that within a tenth of a
second the molecules around a bacterium have all been replaced by new ones even bacteria without
flagella are thus constantly exposed to a changing environment.
Question 36: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A. The characteristics of bacteria
B. How bacteria reproduce
C. The various functions of bacteria
D. How bacteria contribute to disease
Question 37: Bacteria are measured in _____.

A. usual
B. distinctive

which of the following?

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 43 to 50.
Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things,
the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare.
And since man’s inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he
can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single
drop.

Luyện đề thi THPT QG 2017 môn tiếng Anh (Đề thi thử số 1) | (Biên soạn)

Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to
withstand its desiccating effects. No moist-skinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large
animals are found. The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat.
Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the
tangled forest. Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet
they are not emaciated. Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as
animals anywhere else in the word.
The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could
survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a
matter of minutes. So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows
underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night. The surface of the sun-baked desert
averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees.
Question 43: The title for this passage could be _____.
A. “Desert Plants”
B. “Life Underground”
C. “Animal Life in a Desert Environment”
D. “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment”
Question 44: Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the desert, as
_____.
A. sources of flowing water are rare in a desert
B. water is an essential part of his existence
C. water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things
D. very few large animals are found in the desert
Question 45: The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT _____.

A. water-loving animals
B. the coyote and the bobcat
C. moist-skinned animals
D. many large animals
Question 46: According to the passage, creatures in the desert _____.
A. are smaller and fleeter than forest animals
B. live in an accommodating environment
C. are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest
D. are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world
Question 47: The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals
EXCEPT _____.
A. they sleep during the day
B. they dig home underground
C. they are noisy and aggressive
D. they are watchful and quiet
Question 48: The word “emaciated” in the passage mostly means _____.
A. wild
B. cunning
C. unmanageable
D. unhealthy
Question 49: The word “them” means _____.
A. animals
B. people
C. water
D. minutes
Question 50: We can infer from the passage that _____.
A. living things adjust to their environment
B. water is the basis of desert life
C. desert life is colorful and diverse
D. healthy animals live longer lives

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 36 to 42.
What makes it rain? Rain falls from clouds for the same reason anything falls to Earth. The Earth's
gravity pulls it. But every cloud is made of water droplets or ice crystals. Why doesn't rain or snow fall
constantly from all clouds? The droplets or ice crystals in clouds are exceedingly small. The effect of
gravity on them is minute. Air currents move and lift droplets so that the net downward displacement
is zero, even though the droplets are in constant motion.
Droplets and ice crystals behave somewhat like dust in the air made visible in a shaft of sunlight.
To the casual observer, dust seems to act in a totally random fashion, moving about chaotically
without fixed direction. But in fact dust particles are much larger than water droplets and they finally
fall. The cloud droplet of average size is only 1/2500 inch in diameter. It is so small that it would take
sixteen hours to fall half a mile in perfectly still air, and it does not fall out of moving air at alt. Only
when the droplet grows to a diameter of 1/125 inch or larger can it fall from the cloud. The average
raindrop contains a million times as much water as a tiny cloud droplet. The growth of a cloud droplet
to a size large enough to fall out is the cause of rain and other forms of precipitation. This important
growth process is called "coalescence."
Question 36: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The mechanics of rain
B. The climate of North America
C. How gravity affects agriculture
D. Types of clouds
Question 37: The word “minute” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.
A. second
B. tiny
C. slow
D. predictable

Question 38: Why don' t all ice crystals in clouds immediately fall to earth?
A. They are balanced by the pressure of rain droplets.
B. The effect of gravity at high altitude is random.
C. They are kept aloft by air currents.
D. The heat from the sun' S rays melts them.
Question 39: The word “visible” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.
A. uncertain
B. vague
C. invisible
D. obvious
Question 40: What can be inferred about drops of water larger than 1/125 inch in diameter?
A. They never occur.
B. They are not affected by the force of gravity.
C. In still air they would fall to earth.
D. In moving air they fall at a speed of thirty-two miles per hour.
Question 41: In this passage, what does the term “coalescence” refer to _____.
A. The gathering of small clouds to form larger clouds
B. The growth of droplets
C. The fall of raindrops and other precipitation
D. The movement of dust particles in the sunlight
Question 42: What is the diameter of the average cloud droplet?
A. 1/16 inch
B. 1/125 inch
C. 1/2500 inch
D. One million of an inch

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 43 to 50.
The Harlem Renaissance, a movement of the 1920’s, marked the twentieth century’s first period
of intense activity by African Americans in the field of literature, art, and music in the United States.
The philosophy of the movement combined realism, ethnic consciousness, and Americanism.
Encouraged by the example of certain Americans of European descent such as Thomas Eakins, Robert
Henri, and George Luks, who had included persons of African descent in their paintings as serious
studies rather than as trivial or sentimental stereotypes, African American artists of this period set
about creating a new portrayal of themselves and their lives in the United States. As they began to
strive for social and cultural independence. Their attitudes toward themselves changed, and, to some
extent, other segments of American society began to change their attitudes toward them. Thus,
thought the Harlem Renaissance was a short-lived movement, its impact on American art and culture
continues to the present.
The district in New York City know as Harlem was the capital of the movement. In 1925 an issue
of Survey Graphic magazine devoted exclusively to Harlem and edited by philosopher Alain Locke
became the manifesto of the African American artistic movement. Locke strongly suggested that
individuals, while accepting their Americanism, take pride in their African ancestral arts and urged
artists to look to Africa for substance and inspiration. Far from advocating a withdrawal from American
culture, as did some of his contemporaries, Locke recommended a cultural pluralism through which
artists could enrich the culture of America. African Americans were urged by Locke to be
collaborators and participators with other Americans in art, literature, and music; and at the same
time to preserve, enhance, and promote their own cultural heritage.
Artists and intellectuals from many parts of the United States and the Caribbean had been
attracted to Harlem by the pulse and beat of its unique and dynamic culture. From this unity
created by the convergence of artists from various social and geographical backgrounds came a new
spirit, which, particularly in densely populated Harlem, was to result in greater group awareness and
self-determination. African American graphic artists took their place beside the poets and writers of
the Harlem Renaissance and carried on efforts to increase and promote the visual arts.

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 36 to 42.
Telecommuting is a form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices.
For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing
reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over
telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit
the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately
8,7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to
be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover
story a few years ago. Why hasn’t telecommuting become more popular ?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part
of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force
scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not
yet developed, thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept
the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are
concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible
in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work
area, they never really get away from the office.

Question 36: How many Americans are involved in telecommuting?
A. More than predicted in Business Week.
B. More than 8 million.
C. Fewer than estimated in USA Today.
D. Fewer than last year.
Question 37: The phrase “of no consequence” means _____.
A. of no use
B. of no good
C. unimportant
D. irrelevant
Question 38: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting, EXCEPT _____.
A. the opportunities for advancement
B. the different system of supervision
C. the lack of interaction with a group
D. The work place is in the home
Question 39: The word “ them” which is bold and italic refers to _____.
A. systems
B. telecommuters
C. executives
D. responsibilities
Question 40: The reason why telecommuting has not become popular is that the employees _____.
A. needn't regular interaction with their families
B. are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office
C. like that a work area in their home is away from the office
D. are ignorant of telecommuting
Question 41: It can be inferred from the passage that the author is _____.
A. a telecommuter
B. the manager
C. a statistician
D. a reporter

Question 42: When Business Week published “The Portable Executive“, it implied that _____.
A. systems for managing telecommuters were not effective
B. there was resistance on the part of many managers about telecommuting
C. the trend for telecommuting was optimistic
D. most telecommuters were satisfied with their work

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 43 to 50.
Marianne Moore (1887-1972) once said that her writing could be called poetry only because
there was no other name for it. Indeed her poems appear to be extremely compressed essays that
happen to be printed in jagged lines on the page. Her subjects were varied: animals, laborers, artists,

and the craft of poetry. From her general reading came quotations that she found striking or
insightful. She included these in her poems, scrupulously enclosed in quotation marks, and sometimes
identified in footnotes. Of this practice, she wrote, "Why many quotation marks?" I am asked ... When
a thing has been so well that it could not be said better, why paraphrase it? Hence, my writing is, if
not a cabinet of fossils, a kind of collection of flies in amber." Close observation and concentration on
detail and the methods of her poetry.
Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, near St. Lois. After graduation from Bryn Mawr
College in 1909, she taught commercial subjects at the Indian School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Later
she became a librarian in New York City. During the 1920’s she was editor of The Dial, an important
literary magazine of the period. She lived quietly all her life, mostly in Brooklyn, New York. She spent
a lot of time at the Bronx Zoo, fascinated by animals. Her admiration of the Brooklyn Dodgers-before
the team moved to Los Angeles-was widely known.
Her first book of poems was published in London in 1921 by a group of friends associated with

the Imagist movement. From that time on her poetry has been read with interest by succeeding
generations of poets and readers. In 1952 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her Collected
Poems. She wrote that she did not write poetry for money or fame. To earn a living is needful, but it
can be done in routine ways. One writes because one has a burning desire to objectify what it is
indispensable to one's happiness to express.
Question 43: What is the passage mainly about?
A. The influence of the imagists on Marianne Moore.
B. Essayists and poets of the 1920's.
C. The use of quotations in poetry.

C. They were all published in The Dial.
D. They tend to be abstract.

A. artists
B. animals
C. fossils
D. workers

Question 47: The author mentions all of the following as jobs held by Moore EXCEPT _____.
A. commercial artist B. teacher
C. magazine editor
D. librarian
Question 48: Where did Moore spend most of her adult life?
