Mr Field is convinced that women are more<br /> aware of these (34) _______signals than men because of a difference in brain structure. (35)<br /> _______less than 15 per cent of men are able to read non-verbal signals.

Surely<br /> <br /> Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to<br /> indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.<br /> Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S. are choosing to teach their children at home. In fact,<br /> the U.S. Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000 children were being<br /> homeschooled. Some educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate, and<br /> the ranks of homeschooled children seem to be growing at the average rate of about eleven<br /> percent every year.<br /> At one time, there was a theory accounting for homeschooling: it was traditionally used for<br /> students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties. Today,<br /> however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their own children at home<br /> due to their dissatisfaction with the educational system. Many parents are unhappy about class<br /> size, as well as problems inside the classroom. Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that,<br /> in many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students. The children are, therefore,<br /> deprived of the attention they need. Escalating classroom violence has also motivated some<br /> parents to remove their children from school.<br /> Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, homeschooling in the U.S. has<br /> become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger. There are now plenty of<br /> websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents protect their rights and enable them<br /> to learn more about educating their children. Though once it was the only choice for troubled<br /> children, homeschooling today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that many<br /> believe is failing.<br /> Question 36: The past participle “homeschooled” in the first paragraph is best equivalent to<br /> “_____at home”.<br /> A. taught<br /> B. self-studied<br /> C. untaught<br /> D. self-learned<br /> Question 37: This estimated number was presented by _____.<br /> A. a governmental office<br /> B. school teachers<br /> C. the parents<br /> D. homeschooled children<br /> Question 38: According to some experts, the exact number of homeschooled children in the US in<br /> the last year of the 20th century must be _____.<br /> A. 850,000<br /> B. 1,900,000<br /> C. 1,600,000<br /> D. 1,700,000<br /> Question 39: More parents teach their children because they completely _____ the current<br /> educational system.<br /> A. object to<br /> B. approve of<br /> C. appeal to<br /> D. please with<br /> Question 40: The attitude of the author to wards homeschooling can be best described as _____.<br /> A. remarkable<br /> B. unfavorable<br /> C. acceptable<br /> D. favorable<br /> <br /> Trang 4/5 - Mã đề thi 124<br /> <br /> TRƯỜNG THPT NGUYỄN DU<br /> ~~~~~~~~~~<br /> ĐỀ CHÍNH THỨC<br /> <br /> ĐỀ KIỂM TRA HỌC KỲ 1 NĂM HỌC 2017-2018<br /> Môn TIẾNG ANH- KHỐI 12<br /> Thời gian làm bài: 15 phút, không kể thời gian phát đề<br /> <br /> Họ và tên thí sinh:...........................................................................…Lớp: ……………….<br /> Số báo danh:......................................................................................<br /> SECTION B ( 2 points)<br /> <br /> Give the correct form of the words in brackets.<br /> ------------------------------------Question 41: Educational achievement in the country is slowly rising.
