Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer for each of the blanks from 30 to 39.
The universal symbol of the Internet era communications, the @ sign used in e-mail addresses to signify
the word 'at', is (23)
a 500-year-old invention of Italian merchants, a Rome academic has
revealed. Giorgio Stabile, a science professor at La Sapienza University, claims to have stumbled on the
earliest known example of the symbol's use, as a(n) (24)
of a measure of weight or volume. He
says the sign represents an amphora, a measure of capacity based on the terracotta jars used to
transport grain and liquid in the ancient Mediterranean world.
The professor unearthed toe ancient symbol in the course of research for a visual history of the 20 th
century, to be published by the Treccani Encyclopedia. The first (25) instance of its use, he says,
occurred in a letter written by a Florentine merchant on May 4, 1536. He says the sign made its way along
trade routes to northern Europe, where it came to represent 'at the price of', its contemporary
accountancy meaning.
Professor Stabile believes that Italian banks may possess even earlier documents (26)
the
symbol
lying forgotten in their archives. The oldest example could be of great value. It could be used (27)
publicity
purposes and to enhance the prestige of the institution that owned it, he says. The race is
on between
the mercantile world and the banking world to see who has the oldest documentation of @.

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 40 to 49.
A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of the
world's largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice. Now known as Lake Vostok,
this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica. The lake is able to exist
in its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the
earth's core. The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the
surface.
The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey
of the area. Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of
indeterminate size. It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists
aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region
where the ice remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake.
The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the
scientific community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived
for thousands
upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated
ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas. The downside of the discovery,
however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the
problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the
lake to contamination. Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this.
Question 31: What is true of Lake Vostok? A. It is completely frozen. B. It is a saltwater lake.
C. It is beneath a thick slab of ice.
D. It is heated by the sun.
Question 32: All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it
.A. was
conducted by air B. made use of radio waves C. could not determine the lake's exact size D. was
controlled by a satellite
Question 33: It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if
. A. there were no
lake underneath B. the lake were not so big C. Antarctica were not so cold
D. radio waves were not
used
Question 34: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it__A. can be studied using radio
waves B. may contain uncontaminated microbes C. may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light
D. has already been contaminated
Question 35: The last paragraph suggests that scientists should be aware of__A/ further discoveries on
the surface of Antarctica B/ problems with satellite-borne radar equipment C/ ways to study Lake Vostok
without contaminating it
D/ the harsh climate of Antarctica
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 50 to 59.
Perhaps the most striking quality of satiric literature is its freshness and its originality of
perspective. Satire itself, however, rarely offers original ideas. Instead, it presents the familiar in a new
form. Satirists do not offer the world new philosophies. What they do is look at familiar conditions from a
2

___

ĐỀ LUYỆN THI THPT QUỐC GIA

___ đề số 1

perspective that makes these conditions seem foolish, harmful, or affected. Satire jars us out of
complacence into a pleasantly shocked realization that many of the values we unquestioningly accept are
false.
Don Quixote makes chivalry seem absurd; Brave New World ridicules the pretensions of science; A
Modest Proposal dramatizes starvation by advocating cannibalism. None of these ideas is original. Chivalry
was suspect before Cervantes, humanists objected to the claims of pure science before Aldous Huxley,
and people were aware of famine before Swift.
It was not the originality of the idea that made these satires popular. It was the manner of
expression, the satiric method, that made them interesting and entertaining. Satires are read because
they are aesthetically satisfying works of art, not because they are morally wholesome or ethically
instructive. They are stimulating and refreshing because with commonsense briskness they brush away
illusions and secondhand opinions. With spontaneous irreverence, satire rearranges perspectives,
scrambles familiar objects into incongruous juxtaposition, and speaks in a personal idiom instead of
abstract platitude.
Satire exists because there is need for it. It has lived because readers appreciate a refreshing
stimulus, an irreverent reminder that they live in a world of platitudinous thinking, cheap moralizing, and
foolish philosophy. Satire serves to prod people into an awareness of truth, though rarely to any action on
behalf of truth. Satire tends to remind people that much of what they see, hear, and read in popular
media is sanctimonious, sentimental, and only partially true. Life resembles in only a slight degree the
popular image of it.
Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Difficulties of writing satiric literature.
B. Popular topics of satire. C. New philosophies emerging from satiric literature.
D.
Reasons
for the popularity of satire.
Question 37: Don Quixote, Brave New World, and A Modest Proposal are cited by the author as

B. Odd combinations of objects and ideas. C. Abstract discussion of morals and ethics.
D.
Wholesome characters who are unselfish.
Question 40: According to the passage, there is a need for satire because people need to be
.
A/informed about new scientific developments B/ exposed to original philosophies when they are
formulated C/ reminded that popular ideas may often be inaccurate D/ told how they can be of service to
their communities
