A Television has negative effects on family life B Television has advantages and disadvantages for children C Television should be more educational D Television teaches children to be violent The word it in the passage refers to A dominating B time C television D quality Why is Urie Bronfenbrenner quoted in paragraph 2? A To present a different point of view from that of the author B To provide an example of a television program that is harmful C To expand the author‘s argument D To discuss the positive aspects of television The word freezing in the passage is closest in meaning to A controlling B halting C dramatizing D encouraging Urie Bronfenbrenner compares the television set to A a statue B an educator C a family member D a magician Which of the following would be an example of what the author means by a special thing that families do? A Going on vacation in the summertime B Playing cards together in the evening C Reading to the children at bedtime D Talking to each other The thing that ―form the fabric of a family‖ in paragraph are A special things B ordinary things C television programs D children The word it in the passage refers to A the television B the family C its backlog D an institution According to the author, what distinguishes one family from another?

Color directly affects your emotions Color both reflects the current state of your emotions, and is something that you can use to improve or change your emotions The color that you choose to wear either reflects your current state of being, or reflects the color or emotion that you need The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around you Of course they also affect anyone who comes in contract with you, but you are the one saturated with the color all day! I even choose items around me based on their color In the morning, I choose my clothes based on the color or emotion that I need for the day So you can consciously use color to control the emotions that you are exposed to, which can help you to feel better Color, sound, and emotions are all vibrations Emotions are literally energy in motion; they are meant to move and flow This is the reason that real feelings are the fastest way to get your energy in motion Also, flowing energy is exactly what creates healthy cells in your body So, the fastest way to be healthy is to be open to your real feelings Alternately, the fastest way to create disease is to inhibit your emotions ĐỀ 10 Đề thi tiếng nh vào chuyên Ngoại Ngữ năm học 2013 - 2014 ĐẠI HỌC QUỐC I HÀ NỘI TRƢỜN ĐẠI HỌC N OẠI N Ữ KỲ THI TUYỂN SINH HỆ THPT CHUYÊN NGOẠI NGỮ NĂM HỌC 2013 - 2014 Môn thi: Tiếng nh Th i gian làm bài: 120 ph t ĐỀ CHÍNH THỨC I Câu 01-05: Chọn từ ứng với , , C có phần gạch dƣới đƣợc phát âm khác với từ lại câu 01 A classical B composer C answer D basic 02 A feasible B feather C feat D feature 03 A foul B doubt C thorough D scout 04 A chorus B cherish C chaos D scholarship 05 A together B worthy C ethnic D though II Câu 06-10: Chọn từ ứng với , , C có trọng âm nhấn vào âm tiết có vị trí khác với từ lại 06 A obscure B comfort C reform D suppose 07 A ability B geography C calculation D technology 08 A suspicious B distressful C envelope D returning 09 A scholarship B balcony C educate D engineer 10 A abundant B marvelous C destructive D disastrous III Câu 11-20: Đọc đoạn văn sau chọn phƣơng án ứng với , , C cho câu dƣới Line Much of the information we have today about chimpanzees comes from the long-term research of the great conservationist Jane Goodall Jane Goodall was born in London, England, on April 3, 1934 On her second birthday, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee Jubilee was named after a baby chimp in the London Zoo, and seemed to foretell the course Jane‘s life would take From an early age, Jane was fascinated by animals and animal stories By the age of 10, she was talking about going to Africa to live among the animals there At the time, in the early 1940S, this was a radical idea because women did not go to Africa by themselves As a young woman, Jane finished school in London, attended secretarial school, and then worked for a documentary filmmaker for a while When a school friend invited her to visit Kenya, she worked as a waitress until she had earned the fare to travel there by boat She was 23 years old Once in Kenya, she met Dr Louis Leakey, a famous paleontologist and anthropologist He was impressed with her thorough knowledge of Africa and its wildlife, and hired her to assist him and his wife on a fossil-hunting expedition to Olduvai Gorge Dr Leakey soon realized that Jane was the perfect person to complete a study he had been planning for some time She expressed her interest in the idea of studying animals by living in the wild with them, rather than studying dead animals through paleontology Dr Leakey and Jane began planning a study of a group of chimpanzees who were living on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Kenya At first, the British authorities would not approve their plan At the time, they thought it was too dangerous for a woman to live in the wilds of Africa alone But Jane‘s mother, Vanne, agreed to join her so that she would not be alone Finally, the authorities gave Jane the clearance she needed in order to go to Africa and begin her study 11 What is the main source of information about chimpanzees?
