The answer may be a clear case of biology not being able to keep up with technology Deep inside the brain there is a “clock” that governs every aspect of the body’s functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels of alertness, performance, mood, hormone levels, digestion, body temperature and so on It regulates all of these functions on a 24-hour basis and is called the circadian clock (from the Latin, circa “about” + dies “day”) This body clock programmes us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5 a.m and again between 3-5 p.m Afternoon tea and siesta times are all cultural responses to our natural biological sleepiness in the afternoon One of the major causes of the travelers’ malady known as jet lag is the non-alignment of a person’s internal body clock with clocks in the external world Crossing different time zones confuses the circadian clock, which then has to adjust to the new time and patterns of light and activity To make matters more complex, not all internal body functions adjust at the same rate So your sleep/wake may adjust to a new time zone at one rate, while your temperature adjusts at a different pace Your digestion may be on a different schedule altogether Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend our day beyond 24 hours It is contrary to our biological programming to shrink our day That is why travelling in a westward direction is more body-clock friendly than flying east NASA studies of long haul pilots showed that westward travel was associated with significantly better sleep quantity and quality than eastward flights When flying west, you are “extending” your day, thus travelling in the natural direction of your internal clock Flying eastward will involve “shrinking” or reducing your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clock’s natural tendency One of the more common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes disrupted There are many reasons for this: Changing time zones and schedules, changing light and activity levels, trying to sleep when your body clock is programmed to be awake, disruption of the internal circadian clock and working longer hours Sleep loss, jet lag and fatigue can seriously affect our ability to function well Judgment and decision-making can be reduced by 50%, attention by 75 percent, memory by 20 percent and communication by 30 percent It is often suggested that you adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane, supposedly to try to help you adjust to your destination’s schedule as soon as you arrive But it can take the body clock several days to several weeks to fully adjust to a new time zone Question 66 According to the author, which of the following reasons disrupt travelers’ sleep? A Travelers fly in the natural direction of their internal clock B The traveler’s internal circadian clock has to adjust to patterns of light and activity C Travelers’ attention is reduced by 75 percent D Travelers try to sleep between 3-5 p.m Question 67 The word “malady” is closest in meaning to A thought B feeling C bore D illness Question 68 The main function of the body clock is to A help us adapt to a 24-hour cycle B regulate the body’s functions C govern all the body’s responses D help us sleep Question 69 The direction you fly in A extends or shrinks your body clock B affects the degree of jet lag C helps you sleep better D alters your body’s natural rhythms Question 70 According to the article A flying seriously affects your judgment and decision-making B travelers complain about the negative effects of flying C jet lag can affect different abilities differently D various factors stop us sleeping when we fly Question 71 It can be inferred from the passage that A travelers not sleep as well in eastward flights as in westward ones B there are more travelers in westward flights than in eastward ones C travelers have to spend more money flying westward than eastward D westward travelers become friendlier than eastward ones Question 72 Jet lag A causes our body clock to change B extends the hours of our body clock C upsets our body’s rhythms D makes our body clock operate badly Question 73 The word “fatigue” is closest in meaning to A sleeplessness B obsession C exhaustion D frustration Question 74 The word “It” refers to A the brain B the programme C the body clock D the function Question 75 On the subject of avoiding jet lag the article A suggests changing the time on your watch.B makes no suggestions C says there is nothing you can D proposes gradually adjusting your body clock Exercise 7: Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to show the underlined part that needs correction Question 76 What I love most about the book that was the close-knit friendship of the three friends A B C D Question 77 Irrigation often studied together with drainage, which is the natural or artificial removal A B C of the surface and sub-surface water from a given area D Question 78 No matter how young are you, you should take responsibility to some housework A B C family to help your parents D Question 79 Below are some pieces of advice that can help you reduce the feeling of pressure and A B C creating a good impression on your interviewer D Question 80 Studies of Mars indicate that enough water might be collected on the planet’s surface A B C sustain prolonged missions by human space crews D Đáp án mà đ: Exercise : 1 B B Exercise : 11 B 12 C Exercise : 21 C 22 A Exercise : 31 D 32 B C 45 C 46 B A 59 D 60 A Exercise : 61 C 62 D Exercise : 66 B 67 D Exercise : 76 C 77 A C C B C D A B 10 D 13 C 14 D 15 B 16 A 17 D 18 A 19 B 20 B 23 A 24 B 25 A 26 B 27 B 28 D 29 C 30 C 33 B 34 C 35 D 36 B 37 A 38 A 39 D 40 D 41 C 42 B 43 D 44 47 D 48 B 49 C 50 D 51 C 52 C 53 C 54 C 55 D 56 B 57 C 58 63 B 64 B 65 C 68 B 69 C 70 C 71 A 72 C 73 C 74 C 75 B 78 B 79 C 80 D TRƯỜNG THPT MỸ ĐỨC C ĐỀ THI THỬ ĐẠI HỌC, CAO ĐẲNG NĂM 2014 Môn thi: TIẾNG ANH (Đề thi có 06 trang) Thời gian làm bài: 90 phút Họ, tên thí sinh: Số báo danh: Mã đề thi: 202 Exercise 1: Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions Question We expected her at nine but she finally……………at midnight A came off B turned up C turned out D came to Question But for their help, he……………… A has not failed B has failed C would have failed D wouldn’t have failed Question Anyone ……………to another country needs special papers A is travelling B travelling C travelled D is travelled Question .……………… provided a living for nearly 90 percent of the population of the American colonies A Farming was what B Farming was C What farming D What was farming Question " " "What happened?"

The answer may be a clear case of biology not being able to keep up with technology Deep inside the brain there is a “clock” that governs every aspect of the body’s functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels of alertness, performance, mood, hormone levels, digestion, body temperature and so on It regulates all of these functions on a 24-hour basis and is called the circadian clock (from the Latin, circa “about” + dies “day”) This body clock programmes us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5 a.m and again between 3-5 p.m Afternoon tea and siesta times are all cultural responses to our natural biological sleepiness in the afternoon One of the major causes of the travelers’ malady known as jet lag is the non-alignment of a person’s internal body clock with clocks in the external world Crossing different time zones confuses the circadian clock, which then has to adjust to the new time and patterns of light and activity To make matters more complex, not all internal body functions adjust at the same rate So your sleep/wake may adjust to a new time zone at one rate, while your temperature adjusts at a different pace Your digestion may be on a different schedule altogether Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend our day beyond 24 hours It is contrary to our biological programming to shrink our day That is why travelling in a westward direction is more body-clock friendly than flying east NASA studies of long haul pilots showed that westward travel was associated with significantly better sleep quantity and quality than eastward flights When flying west, you are “extending” your day, thus travelling in the natural direction of your internal clock Flying eastward will involve “shrinking” or reducing your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clock’s natural tendency One of the more common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes disrupted There are many reasons for this: Changing time zones and schedules, changing light and activity levels, trying to sleep when your body clock is programmed to be awake, disruption of the internal circadian clock and working longer hours Sleep loss, jet lag and fatigue can seriously affect our ability to function well Judgment and decision-making can be reduced by 50%, attention by 75 percent, memory by 20 percent and communication by 30 percent It is often suggested that you adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane, supposedly to try to help you adjust to your destination’s schedule as soon as you arrive But it can take the body clock several days to several weeks to fully adjust to a new time zone Question 66 The word “malady” is closest in meaning to A thought B illness C bore D feeling Question 67 It can be inferred from the passage that A travelers have to spend more money flying westward than eastward B westward travelers become friendlier than eastward ones C there are more travelers in westward flights than in eastward ones D travelers not sleep as well in eastward flights as in westward ones Question 68 According to the author, which of the following reasons disrupt travelers’ sleep? A The traveler’s internal circadian clock has to adjust to patterns of light and activity B Travelers try to sleep between 3-5 p.m C Travelers fly in the natural direction of their internal clock D Travelers’ attention is reduced by 75 percent Question 69 The word “It” refers to A the brain B the body clock C the programme D the function Question 70 On the subject of avoiding jet lag the article A makes no suggestions B suggests changing the time on your watch C says there is nothing you can D proposes gradually adjusting your body clock 19 Question 71 The direction you fly in A alters your body’s natural rhythms B affects the degree of jet lag C helps you sleep better D extends or shrinks your body clock Question 72 According to the article A various factors stop us sleeping when we fly B jet lag can affect different abilities differently C flying seriously affects your judgment and decision-making D travelers complain about the negative effects of flying Question 73 Jet lag A upsets

body’s functions B help us sleep C govern all the body’s responses D help us adapt to a 24-hour cycle Question 75 The word “fatigue” is closest in meaning to A obsession B exhaustion C frustration D sleeplessness Exercise 7: Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to show the underlined part that needs correction Question 76 Below are some pieces of advice that can help you reduce the

scattered in the western plains began to breed horse about 1600 The arrival of the horse produced a ripple effect throughout the Great Plains as the Indians living there were not nomadic and engaged in rudimentary farming and grazing land hunting Tracking stampeding herds of buffalo and elk on foot was not the best way to stock quantities of meat to adequately feed the entire tribe during the

preservation The hunters responsible for tribe provisions stayed on the move almost continuously, replacing their earth-and-sod lodges with tepees Horses carried not only their riders but also their possessions and booty The Blackfoot Indians of the Canadian plains turned almost exclusive hunters, and the Crow split off from the mainstream Indian farming in favor of hunting In fact, some of the
