Part V. READING
Exercise 9. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually
considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cellphones are very
BÀI TẬP TIẾNG ANH 12 THÍ ĐIỂM
~
UNIT FOUR
popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of
communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health
professional worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people
may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has
been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried
about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that
mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of
some people who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain
and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a
traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss.
He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his
own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day,
every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed
his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is
radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from
mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but
they say the amount is too small to worry about. As the discussion about their
safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often.
106. The most suitable title for the passage could be.....
A. Technological Innovations and Their Price
B. The Importance of Mobile Phones
C. Mobile Phones: A Must of Our Time
D. Advantages and Disadvantages of Mobile Phones
107. According to the passage, cellphones are especially popular with the youth
because.....
A. they keep the users in alert all the time
B. they are integral in daily communication
C. they are the only effective means of communication
D. they make them look more stylish
108. According to the passage, the changes possibly caused by the cellphones
are mainly concerned with.....
A. the smallest units of the brain
B. the central unit of the brain
C. the structure of the brain
D. the long-term memory
109. The words negative publicity in paragraph 2 most likely means.....
A. information on the lethal effects of cellphones
B. the negative public use of cellphones
C. widespread opinion about bad effects of cellphones
TQhẩm Tâm Vy, August 27th, 2020
D. constructive ideas about the effects of cellphones
110. The word their in the last paragraph refers to.....

Exercise 10. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
REALITY TELEVISION
Reality, television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed,
presents unscripted dramatic or humourous situations, documents actual events
and features ordinary people rather than professional actors. It could be
described as a form of artificial or "heightened" documentary. Although the
genre has existed in some form or another since the early year of television, the
current explosion of popularity dates from around 2000.
Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats, from
games to quiz shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning programmes
produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s (a modern example is Gaki no
Tsukai), to surveillance - or voyeurism - focused production such as Big
Brother.
Critics say that the term "reality television” is somewhat of a misnomer and
that such shows frequently portray a modified and highly influenced form of
reality, with participants put in exotic locations or abnormal situations,
sometimes coach to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events
on screen manipulated through editing and other post-production techniques.
Part of reality television's appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in
extraordinary situations. For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an
eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously, travelling on extraordinary
dates to scenic locales. Reality television also has the potential to turn its
participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent and performance
programs such as Pop Idol, though frequently Survivor and Big Brother
participants also reach some degree of celebrity.
Some commentators have said that the name "reality television" is an
inaccurate description of several styles of program included in the genre. In
competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor, and other
special-living-environment shows like the Real World, the producers design the
format of the show and control the day-to-day activities and the environment,
creating a completely fabricated world in which the competition plays out.
Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed
scenarios, challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours
and conflicts. Mark Burnett, creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has
agreed with this assessment, and avoids the word "reality” to describe his shows;

he has said, "I tell good stories. It really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted

A. he wants to distance himself from the statement
B. he totally disagrees with the statement
C. everybody except the writer agrees with the statement
D. he wants to emphasize that it is his own claim
112. The word demeaning in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to.....
A. valueless B. humiliating
C. despising
D. diminishing
113. According to the passage, Reality TV appeals to some because.....
A. it uses exotic locations
B. it shows eligible men dating women
C. it can turn ordinary people into celebrities
D. it shows average people in exceptional circumstances
114. According to the passage, the program “Pop Idol”.....
A. is more likely to turn its participants into celebrities than Big Brother
B. turns all participants into celebrities
C. is a dating show
D. is less likely to turn participants into celebrities than Big Brother
115. Producers choose the participants.....

A POWERFUL INFLUENCE
TQhẩm Tâm Vy, August 27th, 2020
There can be no doubt (119)....that the Internet has made a huge difference to
our lives. Parents are worried that children spend too much time playing on the
Internet, hardly (120)....doing anything else in their spare time. Naturally,
parents are (121)....to find out why the Internet is so attractive, and they want to
know if it can be harmful for their children. Should parents worry if their
children are spending that much time (122)....their computers?
Obviously, if children are bent over their computers for hours, (123)....in some
game, instead of doing their homework, then soothing is wrong. Parents and
children could decide how much use the child should (124)....of the Internet, and
the child should give his or her (125)....that it won't interfere with homework. If
the child is not (126)....to this arrangement, the parents can take more drastic
steps. (127)....with a child's use of the Internet is not much different from
negotiating any other sort of bargain about behavior.
Any parent who is seriously alarmed about a child's behavior should make an
appointment to discuss the matter with a teacher. Spending time in front of the
screen does not (128)....affect a child's performance at school. Even if a child is
(129)....crazy about using the Internet, he or she is probably just (130)....through
a phase, and in a few months there will be something else to worry about!
119. A. at least
B. at all
C. at length
D. at most

UNIT FOUR
popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of
communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health
professional worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people
may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has
been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried
about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that
mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of
some people who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain
and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a
traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss.
He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his
own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day,
every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed
his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is
radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from
mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but
they say the amount is too small to worry about. As the discussion about their
safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often.
106. The most suitable title for the passage could be.....
A. Technological Innovations and Their Price
B. The Importance of Mobile Phones
C. Mobile Phones: A Must of Our Time
D. Advantages and Disadvantages of Mobile Phones
107. According to the passage, cellphones are especially popular with the youth
because.....
A. they keep the users in alert all the time
B. they are integral in daily communication
C. they are the only effective means of communication
D. they make them look more stylish
108. According to the passage, the changes possibly caused by the cellphones
are mainly concerned with.....
A. the smallest units of the brain
B. the central unit of the brain
C. the structure of the brain
D. the long-term memory
109. The words negative publicity in paragraph 2 most likely means.....
A. information on the lethal effects of cellphones

C. widespread opinion about bad effects of cellphones

Exercise 10. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
REALITY TELEVISION
Reality, television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed,
presents unscripted dramatic or humourous situations, documents actual events
and features ordinary people rather than professional actors. It could be
described as a form of artificial or "heightened" documentary. Although the
genre has existed in some form or another since the early year of television, the
current explosion of popularity dates from around 2000.
Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats, from
games to quiz shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning programmes
produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s (a modern example is Gaki no
Tsukai), to surveillance - or voyeurism - focused production such as Big
Brother.
Critics say that the term "reality television” is somewhat of a misnomer and
that such shows frequently portray a modified and highly influenced form of
reality, with participants put in exotic locations or abnormal situations,
sometimes coach to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events
on screen manipulated through editing and other post-production techniques.
Part of reality television's appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in
extraordinary situations. For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an
eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously, travelling on extraordinary
dates to scenic locales. Reality television also has the potential to turn its
participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent and performance
programs such as Pop Idol, though frequently Survivor and Big Brother
participants also reach some degree of celebrity.
Some commentators have said that the name "reality television" is an
inaccurate description of several styles of program included in the genre. In
competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor, and other
special-living-environment shows like the Real World, the producers design the
format of the show and control the day-to-day activities and the environment,
