A Large families needed housing with sufficient space B Apartments were preferable to tenements and cheaper than row houses C The city officials of “New York wanted housing that was centrally located D The shape of early apartments could accommodate a variety of interior designs Question 50 The author mentions the Dakota and the Ansonia in paragraph because A they are examples of large, well-designed apartment buildings Hocmai – Ngôi trường chung học trò Việt Tổng đài tư vấn: 1900 69 33 -

The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated Advocates of organic foods - a term whose meaning varies greatly - frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and form the basis for folklore Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains, and the like One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy only expensive organic foods instead Question 36 The “welcome development” mentioned in line is an increase in A interest in food safety and nutrition among North Americans B the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet C the amount of healthy food grown in North America D the number of consumers in North America Question 37 According to the first paragraph, which of the following is true about the term “organic foods”?

But I can tell you, no one avoided their duties My Dad came over from England to see how we were getting on He talked to us about the new country, about snow, about the huge city, and we all wanted to know more, to see what it was like I didn't know it at that time., but he had come to prepare us for the move to England Six months later my grandmother told me that I was going to join my parents and that she, too, was emigrating London was strange and disappointing There was no gold on the pavements, as the stories in Jaimaica had indicated The roads were busy, the buildings were grey and dull, with many tall, high-rise blocks It was totally unlike Jamaica, the houses all small and packed close together In my grandmother's house I had a big bedroom, here I had to share Then came the biggest shock: snow While flakes came out of the sky and Dad smiled, pointed and said: "That's snow!" I rushed outside, looked up and opened my mouth to let the flakes drop in The snow settled on my tongue and it was so cold that I cried My toes lost all feeling As my shoes and socks got wet and frozen, there came an excruciating pain and I cried with the intensity of it I didn't know what was happening to me Question 36: The writer says that when he was very young A he was upset because his parents left B he was very keen to go to England C his parents had decided to leave D his parents changed their plans Question 37: According to the writer, many people from Jamaica at that time A wanted to be free from responsibility B wanted to improve their standard of living C had ambitions that were unrealistic D dislike the country they came from Question 38: What does "this" in the third paragraph refer to?

On what basis were the Southern states to be brought back into the Union? What of the Southern leaders, all of whom were liable to charges of treason? One of these leaders, Jefferson Davis, president of the Southern Confederacy, was the subject of an insulting popular Northern song, “Hang Jeff Davis from a Sour Apple Tree,” and even children sang it Davis was temporarily chained in his prison cell during the early days of his two-year imprisonment But he and the other Southern leaders were finally released, partly because it was unlikely that a jury from Virginia, a Southern Confederate state, would convict them All the leaders were finally pardoned by President Johnson in 1868 in an effort to help reconstruction efforts proceed with as little bitterness as possible Question 43 What does the passage mainly discuss? A Wartime expenditures B Problems facing the United States after the war C Methods of repairing the damage caused by the war D The results of government efforts to revive the economy Question 44 The word “devastated” in line is closest in meaning to A developing B ruined C complicated D fragile Question 45 According to the passage, which of the following statements about the damage in the South is correct? A It was worse than in the North B The cost was less than expected C It was centered in the border states D It was remedied rather quickly Question 46 The passage refers to all of the following as necessary steps following the Civil War EXCEPT A helping soldiers readjust B restructuring industry C returning government to normal D increasing taxes Question 47 Why does the author mention a popular song? A To give an example of a Northern attitude towards the South B To illustrate the Northern love of music C To emphasize the cultural differences between the North and the South D To compare the Northern and Southern presidents Question 48 The word “them” in line 20 refers to A charges B leader C days D irons Hocmai – Ngôi trường chung học trò Việt Tổng đài tư vấn: 1900 69 33 - Trang | - Hocmai.vn – Website học trực tuyến số Việt Nam Khóa học Luyện thi THPT quốc gia PEN - I: Môn Tiếng Anh (Cô Hương Fiona) Question 49 Which of the following can be inferred from the phrase “… it was unlikely that a jury from Virginia, a Southern Confederate state, would convict them”?
