You probably think you aren't, but just take a minute to look more closely at your daily life Your mobile phone alarm wakes you up, and the first thing you is check if you have any new email messages, maybe even check the weather forecast so you can decide what to put on On the way to college, you pop in your MP3 player earbuds and listen to some music you downloaded the previous night Once at college, your teacher is using an interactive whiteboard Some students are using tablets to take notes When the class has finished, you look at your mobile to see that your friend Lucy has texted to tell you where everyone's meeting for lunch Are you still so sure you could relinquish technology? Increasing numbers of people, however, are taking the decision to go technology free This involves making a concerted effort to remove all technological devices from their lives Take Laura Jo Wegman and Donovan Corliss Not only have they got rid of the obvious technology, such as computers and TVs, they have also modified their cooker to remove the LED display and have a rotary dial telephone ‘I think TV and internet and phones become such a time suck that people feel they don't have time for anything else,’ explains Corliss He goes on to explain how much more time they have now The family now play musical instruments, make bread and even talk to each other! They say it's revolutionized their lives And this family isn't alone The 'unplugging' movement is growing fast Not everyone takes it as seriously as Wegman and Corliss, but more and more people are adopting new approaches to technology For example, Tiffany Shlain pioneered the idea of having a technology-free day once a week, usually on a Saturday Shlain says that ‘It's definitely harder to make plans,’ as, instead of sending lots of texts, she needs to make an arrangement and stick to it And as Shlain points out, the quality of interaction with people who aren't constantly checking their mobiles is much better Another popular activity is to take a digital detox retreat, a long weekend hiking out in the countryside with no gadgets It allows you to develop the skill of finding your way without Google Maps, and seeing the beauty of nature without having to take a digital photograph of it So why not try reverting back to a tech-free world, even if just for a while? And, if you can't even imagine kicking the habit, ask yourself if you really aren't addicted (Adapted from Insight by Rachel Roberts and Mike Sayer) 44 Which best serves as the title for the passage?

A A growing number of people are trying to get rid of technological devices from their lives B The Wegman-Corliss family is the first one to adopt a lifestyle without modern technology C Tiffany Shlain typically has a day without using technology at the beginning of the week D Google Maps can’t be used appropriately for a long journey to some mountainous areas 50 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A Taking photographs of nature has always been part of a long journey to exotic places B The Wegman-Corliss family didn’t use to have a conversation with each other regularly C Tiffany Shlain will ultimately go back to a tech-free world to improve her quality of life D It’s impossible to remove technological devices because they are necessary for our lives HẾT ĐỀ THI THỬ TỐT NGHIỆP THPT 2023 KÌ THI TỐT NGHIỆP TRUNG HỌC PHỔ THÔNG NĂM 2023 Bài thi: NGOẠI NGỮ; Mơn thi: TIẾNG ANH ĐỀ ĐỊNH KÌ THÁNG 5/2023 (FANPAGE) Mơn 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 Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation in each of the following questions A kite B pipe C night D miss Giải thích: A kite /kaɪt/ (n): diều B pipe /paɪp/ (n): ống nước C night /naɪt/ (n): đêm, buổi tối D miss /mɪs/ (v): bỏ lỡ Đáp án D có âm “i” phát âm /ɪ/, đáp án lại phát âm /aɪ/ → Chọn đáp án D A garden B gender C dragon D grapefruit Giải thích: A garden /ˈɡɑː.dən/ (n): khu vườn B gender /ˈdʒen.dər/ (n): giới tính C dragon /ˈdrỉɡ.ən/ (n): rồng D grapefruit /ˈɡreɪp.fruːt/ (n): trái bưởi Đáp án B có âm “g” phát âm /dʒ/, đáp án lại phát âm /ɡ/ → Chọn đáp án B Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word that differs from the other three in the position of the primary stress in each of the following questions A pursue B believe Giải thích: A pursue /pəˈsjuː/ (v): theo đuổi C argue D involve B believe /bɪˈliːv/ (v): tin tưởng C argue /ˈɑːɡ.juː/ (v): tranh cãi, lập luận D involve /ɪnˈvɒlv/ (v): liên quan Đáp án C có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất, đáp án lại trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ → Chọn đáp án C A elegant B humorous C respectful D positive Giải thích: A elegant/ ˈel.ɪ.ɡənt/ (adj): lịch B humorous /ˈhjuː.mə.rəs/ (adj): hài hước C respectful /rɪˈspekt.fəl/ (adj): tỏ lịng tơn trọng D positive /ˈpɒz.ə.tɪv/ (adj): tích cực Đáp án C có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ 2, đáp án lại trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ → Chọn đáp án C Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions The teacher read the boy’s essay, _?
