Bacteria are extremely small living things. While we measure our own sizes in inches or
centimeters, bacterial size is measured in microns. One micron is a thousandth of a millimeter a
pinhead is about a millimeter across. Rod shaped bacteria are usually from two to tour microns long,

Trang 3/5 – Mã đề thi 120


Luyện đề thi THPT QG 2017 môn tiếng Anh (Đề thi thử số 1) | (Biên soạn)


while rounded ones are generally one micron in diameter Thus if you enlarged a founded bacterium a
thousand times, it would be just about the size of a pinhead. An adult human magnified by the same
amount would be over a mile (1.6 kilometers) tall.
Even with an ordinary microscope, you must look closely to see bacteria. Using a
magnification of 100 times, one finds that bacteria are barely visible as tiny rods or dots One cannot
make out anything of their structure. Using special stains, one can see that some bacteria have
attached to them wavy - looking "hairs" called flagella. Others have only one flagellum. The flagella
rotate, pushing the bacteria though the water. Many bacteria lack flagella and cannot move about by
their own power while others can glide along over surfaces by some little understood mechanism.
From the bacterial point of view, the world is a very different place from what it is to humans.
To a bacterium water is as thick as molasses is to us. Bacteria are so small that they are influenced by
the movements of the chemical molecules around them. Bacteria under the microscope, even those
with no flagella, often bounce about in the water. This is because they collide with the water
molecules and are pushed this way and that. Molecules move so rapidly that within a tenth of a
second the molecules around a bacterium have all been replaced by new ones even bacteria without
flagella are thus constantly exposed to a changing environment.
Question 36: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A. The characteristics of bacteria
B. How bacteria reproduce
C. The various functions of bacteria
D. How bacteria contribute to disease
Question 37: Bacteria are measured in _____.

which of the following?

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 43 to 50.
Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things,
the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare.

And since man’s inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he
can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single
drop.

Luyện đề thi THPT QG 2017 môn tiếng Anh (Đề thi thử số 1) | (Biên soạn)

Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to
withstand its desiccating effects. No moist-skinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large
animals are found. The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat.
Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the
tangled forest. Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet
they are not emaciated. Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as
animals anywhere else in the word.
The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could
survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a
matter of minutes. So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows
underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night. The surface of the sun-baked desert
averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees.
Question 43: The title for this passage could be _____.
A. “Desert Plants”
B. “Life Underground”
C. “Animal Life in a Desert Environment”
D. “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment”
Question 44: Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the desert, as
_____.
A. sources of flowing water are rare in a desert
B. water is an essential part of his existence

C. water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things
D. very few large animals are found in the desert
Question 45: The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT _____.
A. water-loving animals
B. the coyote and the bobcat
C. moist-skinned animals
D. many large animals
Question 46: According to the passage, creatures in the desert _____.
A. are smaller and fleeter than forest animals
B. live in an accommodating environment
C. are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest
D. are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world
Question 47: The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals
EXCEPT _____.
A. they sleep during the day
B. they dig home underground
C. they are noisy and aggressive
D. they are watchful and quiet
Question 48: The word “emaciated” in the passage mostly means _____.
A. wild
B. cunning
C. unmanageable
D. unhealthy
Question 49: The word “them” means _____.
A. animals
B. people
C. water
D. minutes
Question 50: We can infer from the passage that _____.
A. living things adjust to their environment

B. water is the basis of desert life
C. desert life is colorful and diverse
D. healthy animals live longer lives

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 36 to 42.
What makes it rain? Rain falls from clouds for the same reason anything falls to Earth. The Earth's
gravity pulls it. But every cloud is made of water droplets or ice crystals. Why doesn't rain or snow fall
constantly from all clouds? The droplets or ice crystals in clouds are exceedingly small. The effect of
gravity on them is minute. Air currents move and lift droplets so that the net downward displacement
is zero, even though the droplets are in constant motion.
Droplets and ice crystals behave somewhat like dust in the air made visible in a shaft of sunlight.
To the casual observer, dust seems to act in a totally random fashion, moving about chaotically
without fixed direction. But in fact dust particles are much larger than water droplets and they finally
fall. The cloud droplet of average size is only 1/2500 inch in diameter. It is so small that it would take
sixteen hours to fall half a mile in perfectly still air, and it does not fall out of moving air at alt. Only
when the droplet grows to a diameter of 1/125 inch or larger can it fall from the cloud. The average
raindrop contains a million times as much water as a tiny cloud droplet. The growth of a cloud droplet
to a size large enough to fall out is the cause of rain and other forms of precipitation. This important
growth process is called "coalescence."
Question 36: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The mechanics of rain
B. The climate of North America
C. How gravity affects agriculture
D. Types of clouds
Question 37: The word “minute” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.
A. second

B. tiny
C. slow
D. predictable
Question 38: Why don' t all ice crystals in clouds immediately fall to earth?
A. They are balanced by the pressure of rain droplets.
B. The effect of gravity at high altitude is random.
C. They are kept aloft by air currents.
D. The heat from the sun' S rays melts them.
Question 39: The word “visible” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.
A. uncertain
B. vague
C. invisible
D. obvious
Question 40: What can be inferred about drops of water larger than 1/125 inch in diameter?
A. They never occur.
B. They are not affected by the force of gravity.
C. In still air they would fall to earth.
D. In moving air they fall at a speed of thirty-two miles per hour.
Question 41: In this passage, what does the term “coalescence” refer to _____.
A. The gathering of small clouds to form larger clouds
B. The growth of droplets
C. The fall of raindrops and other precipitation
D. The movement of dust particles in the sunlight
Question 42: What is the diameter of the average cloud droplet?
A. 1/16 inch
B. 1/125 inch
C. 1/2500 inch
D. One million of an inch

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
The Harlem Renaissance, a movement of the 1920’s, marked the twentieth century’s first period
of intense activity by African Americans in the field of literature, art, and music in the United States.
The philosophy of the movement combined realism, ethnic consciousness, and Americanism.
Encouraged by the example of certain Americans of European descent such as Thomas Eakins, Robert
Henri, and George Luks, who had included persons of African descent in their paintings as serious
studies rather than as trivial or sentimental stereotypes, African American artists of this period set
about creating a new portrayal of themselves and their lives in the United States. As they began to
strive for social and cultural independence. Their attitudes toward themselves changed, and, to some
extent, other segments of American society began to change their attitudes toward them. Thus,
thought the Harlem Renaissance was a short-lived movement, its impact on American art and culture
continues to the present.
The district in New York City know as Harlem was the capital of the movement. In 1925 an issue
of Survey Graphic magazine devoted exclusively to Harlem and edited by philosopher Alain Locke
became the manifesto of the African American artistic movement. Locke strongly suggested that
individuals, while accepting their Americanism, take pride in their African ancestral arts and urged
artists to look to Africa for substance and inspiration. Far from advocating a withdrawal from American
culture, as did some of his contemporaries, Locke recommended a cultural pluralism through which
artists could enrich the culture of America. African Americans were urged by Locke to be
collaborators and participators with other Americans in art, literature, and music; and at the same
time to preserve, enhance, and promote their own cultural heritage.
Artists and intellectuals from many parts of the United States and the Caribbean had been
attracted to Harlem by the pulse and beat of its unique and dynamic culture. From this unity
created by the convergence of artists from various social and geographical backgrounds came a new
spirit, which, particularly in densely populated Harlem, was to result in greater group awareness and

self-determination. African American graphic artists took their place beside the poets and writers of
the Harlem Renaissance and carried on efforts to increase and promote the visual arts.
Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. African American paintings in the 1920’s.
B. An arts movement of the 1920’s.
C. The influence of Alain Locke on African American art.
D. Some ways in which African culture inspired American literature, art and music.

important because of _____.
A. the philosophical contributions they made to the Harlem Renaissance
B. their development of a new style of African American art
C. they way in which they depicted African Americans in their paintings
D. their independence from European artistic traditions
Question 45: The word “them” in the first paragraph refers to _____.
A. Americans of European descent
B. paintings
C. African American artists
D. attitudes
Question 46: According to the passage, African American artists of the 1920’s differed from earlier

correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 38.
Why is it that flying to New York from London will leave you feeling less tired than flying to London from New
York? The answer may be a clear case of biology not being able to keep up with technology. Deep inside the brain
there is a “clock” that governs every aspect of the body’s functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels of alertness,
performance, mood, hormone levels, digestion, body temperature and so on. It regulates all of these functions on
a 24-hour basis and is called the circadian clock (from the Latin, circa “about” + dies “day”).
This body clock programmes us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5 a.m and again between 3-5 p.m.
Afternoon tea and siesta times are all cultural responses to our natural biological sleepiness in the afternoon. One
of the major causes of the travelers’ malady known as jet lag is the non-alignment of a person’s internal body
clock with clocks in the external world. Crossing different time zones confuses the circadian clock, which then has
to adjust to the new time and patterns of light and activity. To make matters more complex, not all internal body

Trang 2/5 – Mã đề thi 735


Luyện đề thi THPT QG 2017 môn tiếng Anh (Đề thi thử số 4) | (Biên soạn)
functions adjust at the same rate. So your sleep/wake may adjust to a new time zone at one rate, while your
temperature adjusts at a different pace. Your digestion may be on a different schedule altogether.
Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend our day beyond 24 hours.
It is contrary to our biological programming to shrink our day. That is why travelling in a westward direction is
more body-clock friendly than flying east. NASA studies of long haul pilots showed that westward travel was
associated with significantly better sleep quantity and quality than eastward flights. When flying west, you are
“extending” your day, thus travelling in the natural direction of your internal clock. Flying eastward will involve
“shrinking” or reducing your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clock’s natural tendency.
One of the more common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes disrupted. There are many
reasons for this: Changing time zones and schedules, changing light and activity levels, trying to sleep when your
body clock is programmed to be awake, disruption of the internal circadian clock and working longer hours. Sleep
loss, jet lag and fatigue can seriously affect our ability to function well. Judgment and decision-making can be
reduced by 50%, attention by 75 percent, memory by 20 percent and communication by 30 percent. It is often
suggested that you adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane, supposedly to try to help you adjust to your

destination’s schedule as soon as you arrive. But it can take the body clock several days to several weeks to fully
adjust to a new time zone.
Question 31: The main function of the body clock is to _____.
A. govern all the body’s responses.
B. regulate the body’s functions.
C. help us sleep.
D. help us adapt to a 24-hour cycle.
Question 32: The word “It” refers to _____.
A. the programme
B. the body clock
C. the function
D. the brain
Question 33: The word “malady” is closest in meaning to _____.

B. bore
C. thought
D. feeling
Question 34: The direction you fly in _____.
A. helps you sleep better.
B. alters your body’s natural rhythms.
C. affects the degree of jet lag.
D. extends or shrinks your body clock.
Question 35: According to the article, _____.
A. various factors stop us sleeping when we fly.
B. travelers complain about the negative effects of flying.
C. flying seriously affects your judgment and decision-making.
D. jet lag can affect different abilities differently.
Question 36: On the subject of avoiding jet lag the article _____.
A. makes no suggestion
B. says there is nothing you can do.

C. proposes gradually adjusting your body clock.
D. suggests changing the time on your watch.
Question 37: According to the author, which of the following reasons disrupt travelers’ sleep?
A. Travelers try to sleep between 3-5 p.m.
B. Travelers’ attention is reduced by 75 percent.
C. The traveler’s internal circadian clock has to adjust to patterns of light and activity.
D. Travelers fly in the natural direction of their internal clock.
Question 38: It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. travelers have to spend more money flying westward than eastward.
B. there are more travelers in westward flights than in eastward ones.
C. westward travelers become friendlier than eastward ones.

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.
The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal. Other solid material such as silicon
can conduct electricity but only effectively at certain temperatures. Also, some substances such as salt (sodium
chloride) can conduct when molten or when dissolved in water. The ability of metals to conduct electricity is due to
how their atoms bond together. In order to bond together the metal atoms lose at least one of their outermost
electrons. This leaves the metal atoms with a positive charge and they are now strictly ions. The lost electrons are
free to move in what are known as a sea of electrons. Since the electrons are negatively charged they attract the
ions and this is what keeps the structure together.
An electric current is a flow of charge and since the electrons in the sea of electrons are free to move they can
be made to flow in one direction when a source of electrical energy such as a battery is connected to the metal.
Hence we have an electric current flowing through the wire, and this is what makes metals such good conductors
of electricity. The only other common solid conducting material that pencil users are likely to encounter is graphite
(what the ‘lead’ of a pencil is made from). Graphite is a form of carbon and again the carbon atoms bond in such a
way that there is a sea of electrons that can be made to flow as an electric current. Likewise, if we have an ionic
substance like salt we can make the electrically charged ions flow to create a current but only when those ions are
free to move, either when the substance is a liquid or dissolved in water. In its solid state an ionic substance like
salt cannot conduct electricity as its charged ions cannot flow.
Electrical insulators are substances that cannot conduct electricity well either, because they contain no
charged particles or any charged particles they might contain do not flow easily. Water itself is a poor conductor
or electricity as it does not contain a significant amount of fully charged particles (the ends of a water molecule are
partly charged but overall the molecule is neutral). However, most water we encounter does contain dissolved
charged particles, so it will be more conductive than pure water. Many of the problems that occur when touching
electrical devices with wet hands result from the ever-present salt that is left on our skin through perspiration and

it dissolves in the water to make it more conductive.
By Helena Gillespie and Rob Gillespie. Science for Primary School Teacher. OUP

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 36 to 42.
In today's competitive world, what responsible parent would not want to give their children the
best possible start in life? For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten
months old, to become familiar with computers. They seem to think that if their children grow up with
computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future. No one has proved that
computers make children more creative or more intelligent. The truth may even be the opposite.
Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers, especially for the very
young, may negatively affect normal brain development. Children gain valuable experience of the
world from their interaction with physical objects. Ten month-old babies may benefit more from
bumping their heads or putting various objects in their mouths than they will from staring at eyecatching cartoons. A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye coordination and understand cause

and effect better by experimenting with a crayon than by moving a cursor around a computer screen.
So, as educational psychologists suggest, instead of government funding going to more and more
computer classes, it might be better to devote resources to music and art programs.
It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from
an early age. Time is too precious to spend with a "mouse". Now is the time when they should be out
there learning to ride a bike. There will be time later on for them to start banging away at keyboards.

A. do not necessarily make more progress than those who don't.
B. tend to like music and art more than those who don't.

D. tend to have more accidents than those who don't.
Question 37: What would be an appropriate title for this passage?
A. More computers mean brighter future
B. Computers in schools
C. Never too early to start
D. Let kids be kids
Question 38: What is true according to the passage?
A. There is no evidence that children who use computers are more clever than those who do not.
B. Computers seriously harm children's eyesight.
C. It is better for children to take computer lessons than art lessons.
D. Parents should not put off buying a computer for their children.
Question 39: The word “coordination” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.
A. collaboration
B. disorganization
C. unskillfulness
D. classification

A. after they have developed hand-eye coordination.

A. sensible
B. humorous
C. ridiculous
D. ironic
Question 42: Why do parents want their children to learn how to use a computer from an early age?
A. Because they are afraid their children will become competitive.
B. Because they want their children to be well prepared for their future.
C. Because this is what all the other parents seem to do.
D. Because they believe their children will have difficulty learning to use one if they don't start early.
