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 39 to 43.
Device-centred communication has become almost universal over the past
twenty years. More than three quarters of people in the world now own a mobile
device, and more than half communicate via social networking.
It is now hard to imagine a world without mobile devices consisting of such
things as mobile phones, laptops and tablets. They allow us to stay in touch with a
large network of friends, no matter where they are. But many experts say that
communicating with a device is nothing like talking with someone in person.
“Body language, eye contact and tone of voice can tell us so much,” psychologist
Mary Peters says. “And none of those exist on a device. Even video chat removes
many subtle clues.”
We don't know to what extent these technologies will permanently change the
way people interact. People will always want to meet up with others in small and
large groups. Indeed, it is fair to say that social media makes it easier than ever
before for people to organise social events. However, there is still a danger that
device-centred communication may have a negative long-term impact on the way
people interact with each other on a day-to-day basis.
We must not, therefore, lose sight of the need to focus on the actual people
around us, and remember that they deserve our real – not virtual – attention. The
idea of a culture where people always have a screen between them sounds a bit
funny, because deep understanding comes when we see the reactions on other
people's faces.
(Adapted from Solutions)
Question 39: The passage is mainly about ______.

DeThi.edu.vn

Bộ 24 Đề thi Tiếng Anh THPT quốc gia 2023 (Có đáp án) - DeThi.edu.vn

A. the development of device-centred communication
B. the impact of device-centred communication

Question 40: The word They in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. mobile phones
B. tablets
C. mobile devices
D. laptops
Question 41: In paragraph 2, in her statement about the advantages of
communicating in person, Mary Peters mentioned all of the following
EXCEPT ______.
A. body language
B. eye contact
C. handshake
D. tone of voice
Question 42: The word meet up in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. come down
B. get together
C. get away
D. come away
Question 43: According to paragraph 4, deep understanding appears when
______.
A. we communicate through social
B. we interact with modern technology

C. we care about our virtual friends
D. we see the reactions on the faces of other

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 44 to 50.
A recent survey into how teenagers in a Southeast Asian country spend their
free time has come up with what some people regard as a surprising finding: many
of those surveyed reported that they would rather stay at home and do things
indoors than go out and experience real-life adventures. One in four teenagers
surveyed believed that online experiences were as fulfilling as real life, and more
than half were actually afraid of trying new experiences. When asked about their
most memorable experience over the previous ten months, nearly 30% of boys said
'playing a new video game', while 10% of all teenagers said it was watching a new
TV series. On asking for more detailed information, researchers found that 20% of
boys and 22% of girls said they had never had a real-life adventure.
It would be easy to blame technological advances for these findings. After all,
today's teenagers have many more indoor activities to choose from than did their
parents. About half a century ago children were expected to spend more of their
free time outside. But researchers do not put the blame wholly on technology.
To members of older generations, these findings are worrying, because it
means that young people increasingly rely on virtual reality and are consequently
missing out on real outdoor activities such as mountain climbing, kayaking, etc.,
which have always been regarded as both enjoyable and character-building. The
surveyed adults said they thought today's youth were more protected than they had
been when they were growing up. Giving examples of this protection, more than

half said they would not let their teenage children hitchhike or go on holiday
without an adult. Seven in ten said they would not even allow their teenagers to get
into a taxi on their own. It is not clear whether adults believe the world is more
dangerous than it used to be or whether they do not trust today's youngsters to look
after themselves.
(Adapted from Cambridge English First for Schools)
Question 44: Which of the following can be the main idea of the passage?
A. Thorough research on teenagers' online games and outdoor activities
B. Teenagers' free-time activity preferences and adults' concerns
C. Viewpoints on teenagers' free-time adventures and online games
D. Fears and tensions encountered by teenagers and adults' concerns
Question 45: The word fulfilling in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. frightening
B. satisfying
C. devastating
D. discouraging
Question 46: The word advances in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. movements
B. advantages
C. barriers
D. developments
Question 47: The word they in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. outdoor
B. young people
C. older
D. surveyed adults
activities
generations
Question 48: According to paragraph 3, the older generations are worried about
______.
A. the young's preferences for outdoor
B. the young's reliance on virtual reality
activities
C. the young's ignorance about virtual
D. the young's lack of indoor activities
reality
Question 49: Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. One fourth of the surveyed teenagers believed online experiences in their free
time were as pleasing as real life.
B. The older generations surveyed thought that today's teenagers were more
protected than they had been.
C. The majority of teenagers surveyed enjoyed real outdoor activities in their
leisure time.
D. Researchers do not put all the blame on technology for causing teenagers' lack
of real-life experiences.
Question 50: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Many adults think that the present world is as dangerous as it used to be.
B. Many adults are doubtful about their children's ability to take care of
themselves.
C. Virtual life is considered to be more and more challenging for teenagers in the
present world.
D. The majority of teenagers surveyed believed virtual reality was as interesting as

sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
The Japanese love inventing and they are very good at it. But there is one
inventor who has invented more things than anyone else in Japan - Dr. Nakamats.
He has designed over 4,000 new inventions over the last fifty years. He is most
well-known for his unusual inventions.
He designed many strange things such as glasses which look like eyes so you
can't notice them, shoes which have steel springs so that you can jump in them,
and a pillow which stops you from falling asleep when you are driving.
How does he come up with these ideas? He finds listening to Beethoven
helpful. But the thing that makes him most creative is holding his breath
underwater. He dives into his swimming pool every day and stays underwater as
long as he can. He believes that less oxygen in the brain is good for new ideas. He
also dives with a pencil and a notebook which he invented. He needs to write down
his ideas immediately in the water because they disappear quickly.
Dr. Nakamats believes that eating the right food is important for creativity, and
he has invented some snacks that he says are good for your brain. He has also
invented an armchair which helps to enhance your brainpower. He sits in the chair
every day to give him more good ideas. Dr. Nakamats is now in his eighties, but he
plans to live until he is 144 years old, so he still has plenty of time to develop even
more new ideas.

sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Action movies are exciting and a lot of fun to watch, but they also involve
scenes of great risk and danger. In the language of filmmaking, dangerous actions
are called stunts. Who performs these stunts? This work is too dangerous for
regular actors. Movie companies usually hire special stunt people to stand in for
the actors in scenes that are unsafe.
Movie producers don't like to let actors do their own stunt work. If the actors
injure themselves, it can delay the production schedule. Using stunt people also
saves time. Most stunt people have years of experience, which enables them to
perform their stunts with a minimum of risk. It would take too long to train the
actors to perform dangerous scenes safely.
Some people who love the thrill of dangerous sports such as skydiving or rock
climbing think it would be easy to work as a stunt person. But it isn't enough to be
a risk-taker. Stunt performers also have to know what to do if anything goes
wrong.
In addition to risk-taking and meticulous attention to detail and planning, stunt
work requires being in top physical condition. Although there are a few training
programmes for stunt performers, most provide only an overview of the profession.
Normally, the people who attend these programmes already have experience in
dangerous sports, rescue work, or the military. So the best way to prepare for a
career in stunt work is to train in an area that involves strong physical conditioning
and has an element of physical danger.
Modern filmmaking techniques have changed the way some dangerous scenes
are filmed. For example, computer-generated images make it possible to show
stunts that would be too dangerous or expensive for real stunt people to perform.
Computer-generated images are often used today to create big fight scenes, car
crashes, and explosions. However, they are not always the best choice. Many
audiences want to see real people perform actual stunts. Also, the rising popularity
of made-for-TV movies around the world ensures that there is still plenty for stunt
people in the film industry.
