TUYỂN TẬP 20 ĐỀ THI THỬ THPT QUỐC GIA 2017 CÓ LỜI GIẢI CHI TIẾT

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

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.

D. Marianne Moore's life and work.

A. They are better known in Europe than the United States.
B. They do not use traditional verse forms.
C. They were all published in The Dial.
D. They tend to be abstract.
Question 45: According to the passage Moore wrote about all of the following EXCEPT ________
A. artists
