activities are making the planet less fit to live on As the western world (27) on consuming two-thirds (28) the world's resources while half of the world's population so just to stay alive, we are rapidly destroying the very resource we have by which all people can survive and prosper Everywhere fertile soil is (29) built on or washed into the sea Renewable resources are exploited so much that they will never be able to (30) completely We discharge pollutants into the atmosphere without any thought of the consequences As a (31) the planet's ability to support people is being reduced at the

your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 32 to 39 Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today Several new types of automobile engines have already been developed than run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighbourhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars Public charging facilities will need to be as common as today’s gas stations Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today Question 32: The following electrical vehicles are all mentioned in the passage EXCEPT A vans B trains C planes D trolleys Question 33: The passage would most likely be followed by details about A electric shuttle buses B pollution restrictions in the future C automated freeways D the neighbourhood of the future Question 34: It can be inferred from the passage that A the present electric engines are the best option as being practical B electricity is the best alternative source of power as it is almost free of pollution C many new types of electric engines have been developed D the present cars are more economical than their future generation Question 35: According to the passage, public parking lots of the future will be A equipped with charging devices B much larger than they are today C as common as today’s gas

to all species on earth A irritations B fears C risks D annoyances 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 42 to 48 An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous changes When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled - a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today As technology has developed and knowledge of health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions Many of more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxides and nitrogen oxides are found in nature As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil On a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city In such region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles The result is an concentration of noxious chemicals in the air The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level Carbon monoxide, however has a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm Question 42: Which of the following is best supported by the passage? A Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants B To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air pollution laws C Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution D One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution laws Question 43: According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if A it can be calculated quickly B the other substances in the area are known C the natural level is also known D it is in a localized area Question 44: The word "adversely" is closest in meaning to A considerably B negatively C quickly D admittedly Question 45: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that A Most pollutants today can be seen or smelled B a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities C water vapour is an air pollutant in localized areas D the definition of air pollution will continue to change Question 46: According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in localized regions A can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants B will damage area outside of the localized regions C can overwhelm the natural system removing pollutants D will react harmfully with natural pollutants Question 47: What does the passage mainly discuss? A What constitutes an air pollutant B The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere C The economic impact of air pollution D How much harm air pollutants can cause Question 48: The word "these" in the second paragraph refers to A the compounds moved to the water or soil B the components in biogeochemical cycles C the various chemical reactions D the pollutants from the developing Earth Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that best combines each pair of sentences in the following questions Question 49: He tries to practise English every day He can speak English more fluently now A He tries to practise English every day, but he finds it difficult to speak English B The more he practises English, the more he can speak English C The more he practises English, the more fluently he can speak it D The more he tries to practise English, the most fluently he can speak it Question 50: She finished her homework After that she watched television A Before she had watched television, she finished her homework B Had she finished her homework, she would have watched television C As soon as she finished her homework, she would have watched television D Having finished her homework, she watched television SỞ GIÁO DỤC ĐÀO TẠO ĐỀ CHÍNH THỨC (Đề gồm có 04 trang) ÔN THI TỐT NGHIỆP TRUNG HỌC PHỔ THÔNG NĂM HỌC 2016- 2017 MÔN TIẾNG ANH ~ MÃ ĐỀ 002 Thời gian: 60 phút - không tính thời gian giao đề Mark(s) Mã Phách ……… Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions Question 1: Peter said: "I wish I hadn't lent him the money."

they became components in biogeochemical cycles These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil On a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city In such region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles The result is an concentration of noxious chemicals in the air The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant;

more pollution-free than those on the road today Several new types of automobile engines have already been developed than run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighbourhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars Public charging facilities will need to be as common as today’s gas stations Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today Question 43: The author’s purpose in the passage is to A narrate a story about alternative energy vehicles B criticize conventional vehicles C support the invention of electric cars D describe the possibilities for transportation in the future Question 44:
