Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to<br /> each of the questions<br /> If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a disaster. According to<br /> several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally, the<br /> child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great<br /> damage to children.<br /> However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are ambitious in a sensible<br /> way, the child may succeed in doing very well - especially if the parents are very supportive of their child<br /> Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and<br /> arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons.<br /> Michael's mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never<br /> makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Winston Smith, Michael's friend, however, is not so lucky.<br /> Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as<br /> successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not<br /> win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.<br /> Question 36. The two examples given in the passage illustrate the principle that ______.<br /> A. parents should spend more money on the child's education<br /> B. successful parents often have unsuccessful children<br /> C. parents should let the child develop in the way he wants<br /> D. successful parents always have intelligent children<br /> Question 37. Who have criticized the methods of some ambitious parents?<br /> A. Their children.<br /> B. Successful musicians.<br /> C. Educational psychologists<br /> D. Unrealistic parents.<br /> Question 38. Parents' ambition for their children is not wrong if they ______.<br /> A. force their children into achieving success<br /> B. arrange private lessons for their children<br /> C. understand and help their children sensibly<br /> D. themselves have been very successful<br /> Question 39. One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to ______.<br /> A. make their child become a musician<br /> B. help their child to become a genius<br /> C. neglect their child's education<br /> D. push their child into trying too much<br /> Question 40. Winston's parents push their son so much and he ______.<br /> A. is afraid to disappoint them<br /> B. has won a lot of piano competitions<br /> C. cannot learn much music from them<br /> D. has become a good musician<br /> Question 41. All of the following people are musical EXCEPT _____.<br /> A. Winston's father<br /> B. Michael's mother<br /> C. Winston's mother<br /> D. Michael's father<br /> Question 42. The word "unwilling" in the passage mostly means ______.<br /> A. "getting ready to do something"<br /> B. "not objecting to doing anything"<br /> "not wanting to do something"<br /> C.<br /> D. "eager to do something"<br /> XII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to<br /> each of the questions<br /> <br /> In the world today, particular in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe, recycling is the big<br /> news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment. Recycling<br /> means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".<br /> The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and expensive plastic<br /> wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box and a bag. All that<br /> packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils.<br /> Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products. When low-quality appliances break, many customers throw<br /> them away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality<br /> appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer<br /> chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage,<br /> the throw-away must stop.<br /> The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After customers empty the<br /> bottles, they return them to the stores. The manufacturers of the drinks collect bottles, wash them, and then fill them again.<br /> The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a<br /> common practice. In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throw-away bottles.<br /> The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used again. Aluminum<br /> cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set<br /> for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious<br /> resources.<br /> Question 43. What does the word "sensitive" in the passage means?<br /> A. responding<br /> B. cautious<br /> C. logical<br /> D. friendly<br /> Question 44. What are the two things mentioned as examples of recycling?<br /> A. Aluminum cans and plastic wrappings.<br /> B. Aluminum cans and spent motor oil.<br /> C. TV sets and aluminum cans.<br /> D. Hamburger wrappings and spent motor oil.<br /> Question 45. The word "motto" in the passage is closest in meaning to _______.<br /> A. belief<br /> B. meaning<br /> C. value<br /> D. reference<br /> Question 46. Which area is considered one of the most industrialized?<br /> A. Europe<br /> B. Asia<br /> C. South America<br /> D. Middle East<br /> Question 47. What best describe the process of reuse?<br /> A. The bottles are filled again after being returned, collected and washed.<br /> B. The bottles are collected, returned, filled again and washed.<br /> C. The bottles are collected, washed, returned and filled again.<br /> D. The bottles are washed, returned filled again and collected.<br /> Question 48. It is a waste when customers buy low-quality products because _______.<br /> A. They have to be repaired many times.<br /> B. they will soon throw them away<br /> C. customers always change their idea<br /> D. they are very cheap.<br /> Question 49. The word "practice" in the passage is closest in meaning to _______.<br /> A. training<br /> B. deed<br /> C. exercise<br /> D. belief<br /> Question 50. What is the topic of the passage?<br /> A. How to reduce garbage disposal.<br /> B. What is involved in the recycling movement<br /> C. How to live sensitively to the environment.<br /> D. What people understand the term "recycle"<br /> <br /> SỞ GD& ĐT NAM ĐỊNH<br /> TRƯỜNG THPT NAM TRỰC<br /> (Đề thi gồm 04 trang)<br /> <br /> ĐÁP ÁN ĐỀ KIỂM TRA GIỮA HỌC KỲ I NĂM HỌC 2016-2017<br /> MÔN: TIẾNG ANH 12<br /> (Thời gian làm bài: 60 phút, không kể thời gian giao đề)<br /> <br /> Đáp án mã đề: 160<br /> 01.
