has become an American institution Paid for by deductions from the paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of elderly Americans is expected to increase dramatically Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs These include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help A broad spectrum of private charities and voluntary organizations is available Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired persons It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S households contribute money to charity Question 36: It took welfare program a long time to gain a foodhold in the US due to the rapid growth of _ A industrialization B population C urbanization D modernization Question 37: The Social Security program has become possible thanks to A enforcement laws B deductions from wages C donations from companies D people's willingness to work Question 38: Most of the public assistance programs after the severe economic crisis A were introduced into institutions B did not become institutionalized C functioned truthfully in institutions D did not work in institutions Question 39: American on low incomes can seek help from A non-governmental agencies B governmental agencies C federal government D state government Question 40: The word "instituted" in the first paragraph mostly means _ A executed B introduced C studied D enforced Cơ sở bồi dưỡng văn hóa luyện thi THPT Quốc Gia HÒA PHÚ Trang 3/5 Sưu tầm biên soạn: Cô Nguyễn Thị Anh Phú Bộ đề thi thử THPT QG 2017 – Môn Anh Văn Question 41: That Social Security payments will be a burden comes from the concern that A the program discourages working people B younger people don't want to work C elderly people ask for more money D the number of elderly people is growing Question 42: New immigrants to America could seek help for _ A only charity organizations B volunteer organizations C the people who came earlier D the US government organization Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks According to the best evidence gathered by space probes and astronomers, Mars is an inhospitable planet, more similar to Earth’s Moon than to Earth itself - a dry, stark, seemingly lifeless world Mars’ air pressure is equal to Earth’s at an altitude of 100,000 feet The air there is 95 percent carbon dioxide Mars has no ozone layer to screen out the sun’s lethal radiation Daytime temperatures may reach above freezing, but because the planet is blanketed by the mere wisp of an atmosphere, the heat radiates back into space Even at the equator, the temperature drops to -50C (-60F) at night Today there is no liquid water, although valleys and channels on the surface show evidence of having been carved by running water The polar ice caps are made of frozen water and carbon dioxide, and water may be frozen in the ground as permafrost Despite these difficult conditions, certain scientists believe that there is a possibility of transforming Mars into a more Earth-like planet Nuclear reactors might be used to melt frozen gases and eventually build up the atmosphere This in turn could create a “greenhouse effect” that would stop heat from radiating back into space Liquid water could be thawed to from a polar ocean Once enough ice has melted, suitable plants could be introduced to build up the level of oxygen in the atmosphere so that, in time, the planet would support animal life from Earth and even permanent human colonies “This was once thought to be so far in the future as to be irrelevant,” said Christopher McKay, a research scientist at NASA “But now it’s starting to look practical We could begin work in four or five decades.” The idea of “terraforming” Mars, as enthusiasts call it, has its roots in science fiction But as researchers develop a more profound understanding of how Earth's ecology supports life, they have begun to see how it may be possible to create similar conditions on Mars Don’t plan on homesteading on Mars any time soon, though The process could take hundreds or even thousands of years to complete and the cost would be staggering Question 43: The word "there" in bold in paragraph refers to _ A the Earth's Moon B Mars C outer space D a point 100 miles above the Earth Question 44: Which of the following does the author NOT list as a characteristic of the planet Mars that would make colonization difficult?

A Enjoyment, liveliness, and carefulness B Seriousness, propaganda, and attractiveness C Humor, unexpectedness, and criticism D Originality, freshness, and astonishment Question 45: Chinese cartoons have been useful as an important means of A educating ordinary people B spreading Western ideas C amusing people all the time D political propaganda in wartime Question 46: The passage is intended to present A a contrast between Western cartoons and Chinese cartoons B a description of cartoons of all kinds the world over C an outline of Western cartoons and Chinese cartoons D an opinion about how cartoons entertain people Question 47: In general, Chinese cartoons are now aiming at A bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people in the world B disseminating traditional practices in China and throughout the world C illustrating the truth of Chinese great men’s famous sayings Cơ sở bồi dưỡng văn hóa luyện thi THPT Quốc Gia HÒA PHÚ Trang 8/5 Sưu tầm biên soạn: Cô Nguyễn Thị Anh Phú Bộ đề thi thử THPT QG 2017 – Môn Anh Văn D spreading the Chinese ideas and cultural values throughout the world Question 48: Which of the following is most likely the traditional subject of Chinese cartoons?
