1. Đề thi học kì 2 tiếng Anh 10 Explore New Worlds - Đề 1

1.1 Đề thi học kì 2 tiếng Anh 10

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to the questions from 1 to 4.

Great white sharks are the most aggressive marine creature, which have no natural predators. These giant sharks can grow up to six meters long and weigh as much as 1,800 kilos. Humans are the only beings who dare to get close to them.

Inside the gigantic jaws of a great white are thousands of teeth. A great white does not have to worry about losing its teeth because when they wear down or break, the shark grows extra teeth to replace them. Even with 3,000 teeth, it does not chew its food. Instead, it tears its prey into large pieces and swallows them whole.

Great white sharks are skillful hunters. All fish, even the smallest ones, produce small amount of electricity. Great whites find their prey by feeling this electricity. It is impossible to hide from a great white shark.

Great whites are independent creatures. This begins very early in life. Even before birth, the babies receive no nutrition from their mother. To survive, they eat their brothers and sisters. As soon as the surviving babies are born, the mother shark swims away and leaves the young sharks to begin their life alone.

Although it normally lives an independent life, the great white has come across humans too often. Because of the demand for shark teeth, jaws, and fins, the great white is now in danger of disappearing from the earth.

READING

I. Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each of the questions.

There are many reasons for reducing the forest areas, and this causes many complicated problems for any nation without any exception. Due to the population explosion, many governments need more land for residents to live and develop the economy. They also clear forests to build dams for generating electricity or to develop resorts and recreational complexes. Besides, a huge number of trees are logged illegally to trade wood. All of these lead to serious issues as forests always have an important role in the ecosystem balance. It is undoubted that when a forest area is destroyed, the following results affect the other neighbor regions. The first negative effect of the loss of forest lands is flooding. Forests help to prevent erosion and flooding and without them, the downstream areas tend to be inundated frequently in rainy and hurricane seasons. Another problem is global warming. Forests are often considered as the lungs of the earth because they absorb the carbon dioxide and release the oxygen. This helps to refresh the atmosphere and lower the rate of the carbon dioxide in the air. If not, the average temperature will be higher and higher since the emission of the gas into the atmosphere increases every day. Consequently, the price we would pay for the flooding or for the increase of greenhouse gases is not only the damaged and polluted environment but also our deteriorated health and lives. To save ourselves, it is advisable to join hands in protecting and growing more and more forests.
