to think seriously about ways of protecting the environment One man who was particularly affected by this subject was Gerard Morgan-Grenville As Morgan-Grenville travelled round earning his living as a gardener, he noticed signs of the damage that was being done to the countryside around him It wasn't long before Morgan-Grenville decided that he had to something about this situation He felt that

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 If any of the inmates at Yancheng prison are considering an escape attempt, they’d better it soon The Chinese prison is currently wrapping up months of construction on a new “smart” surveillance system designed to monitor prisoners at every moment, including while they are in their cells According an official, this will make prison breaks virtually impossible — but it might also wreak havoc on prisoners’ psyches According to the South China Morning Post, the facility is almost finished installing a network of cameras and sensors capable of constantly tracking inmates These cameras and sensors will feed into an AI system that uses facial identification and movement analysis technologies to monitor each individual inmate at the Chinese prison, producing a daily report about each one and flagging any unusual behavior “For instance,” project representative Meng Qingbiao told SCMP, “if an inmate has been spotted pacing up and down in a room for some time, the machine may regard the phenomenon as suspicious and suggest close-up checks with a human guard.” This isn’t the first example we’ve seen of prison officials attempting to make facilities “smart” In February, Hong Kong’s Correctional Services Department announced the implementation of several technologies designed to help prisoners stay safe during their imprisonment However, Zhang Xuemin, a physiology professor at Beijing Normal University, told SCMP the new system will “definitely affect” the prisoners’ mental state And while he didn’t elaborate on what that effect might be, past research has shown that constant surveillance can increase a person’s stress and anxiety levels, while decreasing their trust in others — meaning the trade off for an escape-proof “smart” prison might be the mental health of its inmates (Adapted from https://www.futurism.com) 36 Which of the following can be the title of the passage? A Human Guards Replaced By AI in Chinese Prisons B AI Technology Stopped A Breakout In China C The Negative Effects of AI on Chinese Prisoners’ Health D China Installing “AI Guards” in Prison Cells 37 According to the passage, past research revealed that constant surveillance can affect all of the following EXCEPT A how much a person believe in other people B how stressed a person is C how smart a person is D how anxious a person is 38 The word “regard” in paragraph can be best replaced by A object B comment C consider D disapprove 39 The word “this” in paragraph refers to _ A the surveillance system B an escape attempt C an official D the Chinese prison 40 According to the passage, the AI surveillance system at Yancheng prison may suggest close-up checks with a human guard when A a prisoner is suffering from anxiety B a prisoner is attempting to escape C a prisoner is moving for too long D a prisoner is behaving abnormally 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 If you’re like many Americans, you’re probably consuming far more sugar than you realize Much of this sugar comes in the form of high-fructose corn syrup, which the food industry began adding to virtually all processed foods in the 1970s This was back when the consumption of fat was first linked to heart disease With the best of intentions, the food industry reduces the fat content in many processed foods Unfortunately, low-fat foods taste like cardboard, so the food industry added high fructose corn syrup to make them “tasty” once more As a result, while the consumption of table sugar has gone down, the consumption of high-fructose corn syrup has skyrocketed The problem is that research now links sugar consumption in any form to a host of health problems, including obesity, type diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer Some researchers are going so far as to label sugar “toxic.” Recent studies at the University of California, Davis, show that when a person consumes too much sugar, the liver gets overloaded with fructose and converts some of it into fat Some of that fat ends up in the bloodstream and helps generate an especially dangerous kind of cholesterol called small dense LDL These LDL particles are known to lodge in blood vessels, form plaque, and cause heart attacks In addition, sugar has become a major focus in cancer research, researchers are finding that sugar consumption causes a sudden spike in the hormone insulin, which can serve as a catalyst to fuel certain types of cancers, including those of the breasts and colon Think that you can satisfy your sweet tooth by consuming artificial sweeteners? Think again A study of rats that were fed artificially sweetened food found that their metabolism slowed down, and they were triggered to consume more calories and gain more weight than rats fed sugar-sweetened food Similarly, people who consume diet drinks regularly have a 200 percent increased risk of weight gain, a 36 percent increased risk of pre-diabetes or metabolic syndrome, and a 67 percent increased risk of diabetes What to do? An American Heart Association report recommends that men should consume no more than 150 calories of added sugars a day, and women should consume just 100 calories That’s less than the amount in one can of soda (Adapted fromTen Steps to Advanced Reading) 41 The word “catalyst” in the reading passage is closest in meaning to “something that .” A gets in the way B stimulates C distracts D repeats 42 According to the passage, the food industry added high fructose corn syrup to processed foods A because high fructose corn syrup was believed to be healthier than regular sugar B because farmers who grew corn wanted to expand the market for corn products C because low fructose corn syrup had been linked to heart disease D to make up for the loss of taste caused by reducing the fat content of processed foods 43 Which of the following can be the best title for the reading passage? A Changing Patterns of Sugar Consumption B How to Lower Your Chances of Getting Cancer C The Case Against Sugar and Artificial Sweeteners D Toxic Substances 44 It can be inferred from the reading passage that A eating sugary foods is less risky than eating fatty foods B consuming artificially sweetened foods is a good way to avoid consuming too much sugar C Americans need to drastically reduce their intake of all forms of sugar D it’s better to consume high fructose corn syrup than table sugar 45 The word “it” in the reading passage refers to A fructose B liver C sugar D fat 46 The word “tasty” in the passage is closest in meaning to A flavorless B appetizing C bitter D harsh 47 What statement is NOT true according to the reading passage? A Both sugar in all its forms and artificial sweeteners carry significant health risks B A number of recent studies have explored the consequences of consuming sugar and artificial sweeteners C Food industry added high fructose corn syrup to processed foods to make them less bland D Diet drinks are a healthy alternative for people who don’t want to consume too much sugar Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the underlined part that needs correction in each of the following questions 48 In an effort to solve the problem of extinction, many countries have allocated large amounts of its land to animal reserves A to solve B extinction C its D to 49 Founded only three months ago, his company is still a comparable newcomer to the software market A Founded B is C comparable D the software market 50 Last week Mark told me that he got very bored with his present job and is looking for a new one A got B new one C is looking HẾT D told ĐỀ THI THỬ TỐT NGHIỆP THPT 2023 KÌ THI TỐT NGHIỆP TRUNG HỌC PHỔ THƠNG NĂM 2023 Bài thi: NGOẠI NGỮ; Mơn thi: TIẾNG ANH THPT CHUYÊN VĨNH PHÚC (LẦN 2) Môn thi: TIẾNG ANH (Đề thi có 04 trang) Thời gian làm bài: 60 phút, không kể thời gian phát đề HƯỚNG DẪN GIẢI CHI TIẾT Câu “How did you know that he was lying?” – “It was just a feeling.” A faint B gut C flair D vain Giải thích: Cụm từ: gut feeling/reaction: trực giác Tạm dịch: “Sao bạn biết anh nói dối?” - “Chỉ trực giác thôi.” → Chọn đáp án B Câu When Bill got home, his children _ in the yard A will be playing B were playing C are playing D played Giải thích: Hịa hợp thì: When + QKĐ, QKTD: diễn tả hành động xảy q khứ có hành động khác chen vào Tạm dịch: Khi Bill nhà, anh chơi sân → Chọn đáp án B Câu Yesterday I had to catch a taxi because my car when I was on my way to work A took after B gave away C turned on D broke down Giải thích: Kiến thức cụm động từ (Phrasal verbs): - take after somebody/something: giống ai/cái - give away something: tặng - turn on something: bật - break down: hư, hỏng (máy móc, thiết bị, xe,…), suy sụp Tạm dịch: Ngày hôm qua phải bắt taxi xe tơ tơi bị hỏng đường đến chỗ làm → Chọn đáp án D Câu Tom invited us to come to his party, ?
