III. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the best answer A, B, C or D. Write the answers on your answer sheet.

Cell phones are an important part of our society and their main use is communication. They keep students in touch with the rest of the world by giving them the power to interact with it. In the old days, if you forgot to bring your lunch, you had to rely on the school office calling home for you. Now, students have the ability to solve their own problems and handle certain emergencies on their own.

Cell phones also allow students to keep in touch with their friends and students at other schools. While not directly beneficial to education, better relationships can lead to higher self-esteem and reduce isolation, which is good for everybody. In the same way, camera phones allow students to capture the kinds of memories that help build a solid school culture. In some cases, they can act as documentation of misbehaviors because they provide evidence and prevent bad behaviors.

Academically, the cell phone can record a video or an audio of the lessons that may need to be reviewed later. And just imagine if classes could be easily recorded for students who are absent. What if they could even be streamed and seen from home instantly?
36. What is the main idea of the passage?

B. Cell phones will be used as cameras to capture memories.

A. students B. cell phones C. uses D. societies
38. According to the passage, cell phones help students ______________.
A. interact with the world B. handle the household chores
C. write their lectures D. increase isolation
39. The word “provide” in paragraph 2 is CLOSEST in meaning to ______________.

2. Đáp án

PART A. PHONETICS (1.0 point)

I.Choose the word whose underlined part is pronounced differently from that of the others

A. needed B. looked C. helped D. watched Giải thích: “looked”, “helped”, “watched” kết thúc bằng âm /t/ sau phụ âm vô thanh. “needed” kết thúc bằng /id/ sau âm /d/.
A. please B. clear C. tea D. clean Giải thích: “please”, “clear”, “clean” có nguyên âm dài /iː/. “tea” có âm /iː/ nhưng cách đọc khác. (Thực tế, “tea” cũng có âm /iː/. Cần kiểm tra lại chính xác âm. Tuy nhiên, nếu đề yêu cầu khác biệt, thường sẽ là các từ có nguyên âm đôi hoặc nguyên âm đơn khác biệt rõ rệt). Cần xem xét kỹ lại câu 2. Các từ A, B, D đều có nguyên âm /iː/. “Tea” cũng có nguyên âm /iː/. Có thể đây là một câu hỏi tricky hoặc có một lỗi nhỏ trong đề bài nếu không có sự khác biệt rõ rệt về âm. Tuy nhiên, nếu buộc phải chọn, chúng ta sẽ cần lắng nghe sự khác biệt nhỏ về cách phát âm /iː/ hoặc tìm một quy tắc ngoại lệ. Trong bối cảnh thông thường của đề thi THPT, câu này có thể có lỗi in ấn hoặc nhầm lẫn. Sau khi kiểm tra lại: “please”, “clear”, “clean” và “tea” đều có âm /i:/. Có thể đề muốn kiểm tra âm /eɪ/ hoặc một âm khác. Nhưng dựa trên các lựa chọn, có vẻ không có sự khác biệt rõ ràng về âm được gạch chân. Nếu đây là đề thi thật, câu này có thể bị sai hoặc cần được làm rõ hơn. Giả định rằng có thể có một sự nhầm lẫn và nếu phải chọn một đáp án khác biệt nhất, sẽ cần ngữ cảnh nghe. Tuy nhiên, tôi không thể nghe. Vì vậy, tôi sẽ bỏ qua giải thích chi tiết cho câu này nếu không có khác biệt rõ ràng.
A. think B. thin C. thank D. though Giải thích: “think”, “thin”, “thank” có âm /θ/ (âm thờ không rung). “though” có âm /ð/ (âm đờ rung).
