D stone or wood A A sculptor must work with talented assistants B The subject of a sculpture should be derived from classical stories C The material is an important element in a sculpture D Designing a sculpture is a more creative activity than carving it Question 25: The word “dictates” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A includes B determines C reads aloud D records Question 26: How does direct carving differ from the nineteenth-century tradition of sculpture? A Sculptors are personally involved in the carving of a piece B Sculptors find their inspiration in neoclassical sources C Sculptors have replaced the mallet and chisel with other tools D Sculptors receive more formal training Question 27: The word “witnessed” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A studied B influenced C validated D observed C Africa D New York Question 28: Where did Robert Laurent learn to carve? A The South Pacific B Paris Question 29: The phrase “a break with” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A a solution to B a collapse of C a destruction of D a departure from Question 30: The piece titled The Priestess has all of the following characteristics EXCEPT _ A It depicts the front of a person C The design is stylized B The carving is not deep D It is made of marble ĐỀ THI THỬ THPT QUỐC GIA 2019- CÔ QUỲNH TRANG MOON – ĐỀ 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 You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same "facial language" Studies by Ekman's group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays - the so called display rules In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially negative ones- while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree, in people's behavior From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too Very young children pay close attention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people's faces This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human emotions Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures For example, what emotion you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions Question 31: The word “evolved” is closest in meaning to _ A developed B simplified C increased D reduced Question 32: Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether _ A raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth B different cultures have similar emotional expressions C rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar D eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar Question 33: Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to _ A change their behaviour B conceal their positive emotions C display their emotions openly D control their emotions Question 34: The biggest difference lies in _ A how intensive emotions are expressed B how often positive emotions are shown C how emotional responses are controlled D how long negative emotions are displayed Question 35: According to the passage, we respond to others by _ A looking at their faces B observing their looks C watching their actions D observing their emotional expressions Question 36: Young children _ A spend a long time learning to read others' emotions B are sensitive towards others' emotions C make amazing progress in controlling their emotions D take time to control their facial expressions Question 37: The best title for the passage is _ A Human habit of displaying emotions B Ways to control emotional expressions C Cultural universals in emotional expressions D Review of research on emotional expressions ĐỀ THI THỬ THPT QUỐC GIA 2019- CÔ QUỲNH TRANG MOON – ĐỀ 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 Advertising helps people recognize a particular brand, persuades them to try it, and tries to keep them loyal to it Brand loyalty is perhaps the most important goal of consumer advertising Whether they produce cars, canned foods or cosmetics, manufacturers want their customers to make repeated purchases The quality of the product will encourage this, of course, but so, too, will affect advertising Advertising relies on the techniques of market research to identify potential users of a product Are they homemakers or professional people? Are they young or old? Are they city dwellers or country dwellers? Such questions have a bearing on where and when ads should be placed By studying readership breakdowns for newspapers and magazines as well as television ratings and other statistics, an advertising agency can decide on the best way of reaching potential buyers Detailed research and marketing expertise are essential today when advertising budgets can run into thousands of millions of dollars Advertising is a fast-paced, high-pressure industry There is a constant need for creative ideas that will establish a personality for a product in the public's mind Current developments in advertising increase the need for talented workers In the past, the majority of advertising was aimed at the traditional white family - breadwinner father, non- working mother, and two children Research now reveals that only about percent of American households fit this stereotype Instead, society is fragmented into many groups, with working mothers, single people and older people on the rise To be most successful, advertising must identify a particular segment and aim its message toward that group Advertising is also making use of new technologies Computer graphics are used to grab the attention of consumers and to help them see products in a new light The use of computer graphics in a commercial for canned goods, for instance, gave a new image to the tin can Question 38: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A To reduce their sensitivity to some chemicals B To attract different types of ants C To protect their trail from other species D To indicate how far away the food is Question 87: The author mentions the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant in line to point out _ A how little pheromone is needed to mark a trail B the different types of pheromones ants can produce C a type of ant that is common in many parts of the world D that certain ants can produce up to one milligram of pheromone Question 88: According to the passage, how are ants guided by trail pheromones? A They concentrate on the smell of food B They follow an ant who is familiar with the trail C They avoid the vapor spaces by moving in a straight line D They sense the vapor through their antennae Question 89: The word “oscillating” is closest in meaning to _ A falling B depositing C swinging D starting Question 90: According to the passage, the highest amount of pheromone vapor is found _ A in the receptors of the ants B just above the trail C in the source of food D under the soil along the trail ĐỀ THI THỬ THPT QUỐC GIA 2019- CÔ QUỲNH TRANG MOON – ĐỀ ĐÁP ÁN BÀI TẬP ĐỌC HIỂU 1: A Đề: Trong đoạn thứ hai, từ “prophesied” gần nghĩa với _ Prophesy (v): tiên đoán, tiên tri ~ foretell (v): đốn trước, nói trước 2: D Đề: Người Ai Cập cổ đại dựa vào cho việc tính tốn họ?
