1. Cụm that of many successful icons thay cho một danh từ số ít trước đó. Ở đây hợp lí nhất là rise to stardom. Phương án D vừa đúng nghĩa vừa đúng cấu trúc: “Giống như nhiều biểu tượng thành công khác, con đường trở nên nổi tiếng của Elon Musk không bắt đầu ngay từ lúc sinh ra.” Câu 13 Đáp án: A. nor did his most groundbreaking ideas happen overnight Câu trước mang nghĩa phủ định: “His childhood bullies were not amazed by his unique vision...” Sau phủ định, để thêm một ý phủ định song song, dùng: nor + trợ động từ + S + V → nor did his most groundbreaking ideas happen overnight Câu 14 Đáp án: A. strongly believing that you must always move forward Câu: “... success comes from learning from your failures and (14) ______ in your abilities.” Sau “and” cần một vế song song với learning. Phương án A tạo thế song song về ý: learning from your failures and strongly believing... Đây là phương án tự nhiên nhất trong 4 đáp án. Câu 15 Đáp án: D. Granted, not all of us have the natural talent or even motivation to build billion-dollar companies Câu: “... when we don't let our shortcomings interfere with our goals, (15) ______, but we all have the potential...” Chỗ trống cần một ý nhượng bộ/chấp nhận một thực tế, rồi sau đó mới chuyển sang “but...”. Granted, ... = phải thừa nhận rằng... → Rất hợp mạch. Câu 16 Đáp án: A. even if the odds aren't in your favor Đây là câu nói nổi tiếng: “When something is important enough, you do it, even if the odds aren't in your favor.” Nghĩa: Bạn vẫn làm, ngay cả khi tình thế không đứng về phía mình. Câu 17 Đáp án: C. for Cụm cố định: opt for = chọn cái gì → “opting for reusable products” Câu 18 Đáp án: C. appliances “water-saving appliances” = các thiết bị tiết kiệm nước Rất hợp ngữ cảnh hơn “supplies/materials/accessories”.

5. ĐỀ SỐ 2 SỞ GIÁO DỤC VÀ ĐÀO TẠO KỲ THI THỬ TỐT NGHIỆP THPT NĂM 2026 ĐỒNG NAI MÔN: TIẾNG ANH LẦN 2 Thời gian làm bài: ..... phút (Không kể thời gian giao đề) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 1 to 8. Many extinct species – from passenger pigeons to woolly mammoths – may now be reclassified as “bodily, but not genetically, extinct”, since their DNA can still be recovered from fossil specimens up to 200,000 years old. Developments in genetic technology may one day help bring such animals back to life. Only species whose DNA is too old to recover, such as dinosaurs, should be regarded as truly extinct. The attempt to bring vanished creatures back to life will be expensive, technically difficult, and time-consuming, with no guarantee of success, so what makes it worthwhile? That something as final as extinction might be reversed, so that mammoths and passenger pigeons could be seen alive again, evokes the awe and wonder that drive all conservation at its deepest level. Furthermore, the same logic underlying initiatives to protect endangered species applies to de- extinction plans: to restore and preserve biodiversity, advance scientific knowledge, and undo previous destruction. In this sense, resurrected species could become beacons of hope. While close examination of extinct species’ genomes can speak volumes about what made them vulnerable in the first place, living specimens would reveal even more. De-extinction techniques would also be directly applicable to critically endangered species, helping restore their genetic diversity. Lastly, as some extinct species once played vital roles in their ecosystems, bringing them back could also revive ecological richness and inspire wider conservation. If de-extinction succeeds, today’s young people will have a chance to experience the return of some remarkable creatures in their lifetime – an experience that may define their generation’s attitude to the natural world and conservation. Given the number of species that have died out over the last 10,000 years due to manmade destruction, some resurrection and a measure of redemption are in order. Question 1.

A. bodily, but not genetically, extinct species B. all extinct species C. genetically, but not bodily, extinct species D. truly extinct species

A. The prospect of reviving extinct species is motivated by conservationists’ feelings of amazement and admiration. B. The idea that extinct species could be revived and observed again comes from awe-inspiring conservation. C. The thought of undoing extinction stirs up a profound emotional response that lies at the heart of conservation. D. The likelihood of bringing vanished species back to life is a powerfully emotional one for many conservationists. Question 4. The phrase “speak volumes” in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______. A. conceal B. indicate C. demonstrate D. show Question 5. Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 3? A. The usefulness of de-extinction technology remains limited to critically endangered species. B. Revived extinct specimens could provide fewer genetic insights than could their fossil specimens. C. The aims of wildlife conservationists and of those seeking to revive extinct species are similar. D. Reviving ecologically important extinct species would have little impact on regional conservation.

The secret of economic success is innovation. What, then, is the secret of innovation? A look at the red-hot market for grey cells is revealing. Success seems increasingly dependent not on firms but on the brilliance, creativity, and drive of a small cadre of exceptional individuals – for whom companies and institutions worldwide must compete if they want to lead in such fields as technology, finance, and science. Across sectors, the rewards for the new superstars are growing, too. Many programmers and recording artists in their 20s now command seven-, eight- or even nine-figure salaries. Similarly, in the legal profession, earnings that were once distributed more evenly among lawyers now increasingly flow to the top ones at elite firms, who massively outperform their counterparts at second-tier firms. The rising premium on talent is due chiefly to recent technologies: vast computing resources help investors transform their skills into greater profits, while ultra-cheap digital distribution expands markets for individual creators. [I] And from a corporate perspective, the potential rewards for winning the race are so enormous that they turn even the most extravagant individual salary into a rounding error. That technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI), will further extend the dominance of top performers, enabling them to do even better, is a boon to them. But it is also good news for everyone else, because ageing societies will struggle to grow economically unless productivity and innovation remain
10. strong. [II] However, the real irony is that, even as many countries are pouring money into economy- boosting schemes, much of the brainpower essential for national prosperity remains untapped. Despite the world’s vast reservoir of talent, too few people are achieving their potential, owing perhaps to financial hardships, limited access to higher education, and the absence of support networks needed to turn promise into performance. When this is the case, the result is a tragic waste of human gifts in both developed and developing countries. [III] Fortunately, the remedy is well within sight. To attract talent from abroad, countries need to remove the immigration barriers that keep bright students, researchers, and skilled workers out. Domestically, policymakers should be more systematic about supporting talent-spotting programmes and giving those who show early promise the education, funding, and support they need to flourish. [IV] Question 26. The phrase “red-hot market for grey cells” in paragraph 1 serves to ______. A. emphasize the increasing competitiveness of the intellectual world B. explain the secretive nature of successful economic innovation C. stress the high demand and value placed on human brainpower D. highlight the extent of talented people’s influence on the world economy Question 27. Which of the following best summarizes paragraph 1? A. A select few highly gifted individuals appear to be increasingly central to innovation and to the commercial and economic success of firms worldwide. B. As economic survival becomes increasingly challenging across many fields, exceptional talent has become highly sought after by organizations globally. C. Increasingly, companies have to compete to attract exceptionally gifted individuals, who are the secret ingredient for simultaneously succeeding in multiple fields. D. Organizations across the globe have increasingly recognized the potential of a limited number of remarkably talented people for successful innovation. Question 28. The word “ones” in paragraph 2 refers to ______. A. elite firms B. earnings C. second-tier firms D. lawyers Question 29. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2? A. For firms, the substantial gains from coming out on top make even the highest salary paid to star performers seem negligible. B. From a business perspective, the huge rewards of winning the competition outweigh the largest pay package given some individuals. C. Companies can offset the lavish individual pay of talented workers by beating the competition and securing massive rewards. D. The vast financial benefits that corporations gain from outpacing rivals justify mistakenly offering talented employees extremely high salaries. Question 30. The word “reservoir” in paragraph 3 can be best replaced by ______. A. block B. store C. composition D. mixture Question 31. Which of the following is mentioned in paragraph 4 as a way to attract or nurture talent? A. facilitate the entry of talented foreigners B. reform existing educational policies C. launch projects to identify talent promptly D. offer financial rewards to talented youths
