Robert Capa Robert Capa is a name that has for many years been synonymous with war photography. Born in Hungary in 1913 as Friedmann Endre Ernő, Capa was forced to leave his native country after his involvement in anti government protests. Capa had originally wanted to become a writer, but after his arrival in Berlin had first found work as a photographer. He later left Germany and moved to France due to the rise in Nazism. He tried to find work as a freelance journalist and it was here that he changed his name to Robert Capa, mainly because he thought it would sound more American. In 1936, after the breakout of the Spanish Civil war, Capa went to Spain and it was here over the next three years that he built his reputation as a war photographer. It was here too in 1936 that he took one of his most famous pictures, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier. One of Capa’s most famous quotes was 'If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.' And he took his attitude of getting close to the action to an extreme. His photograph, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier is a prime example of this as Capa captures the very moment the soldier falls. However, many have questioned the authenticity of this photograph, claiming that it was staged. When World war II broke out, Capa was in New York, but he was soon back in Europe covering the war for Life magazine. Some of his most famous work was created on 6th June 1944 when he swam ashore with the first assault on Omaha Beach in the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Capa, armed only with two cameras, took more than one hundred photographs in the first hour of the landing, but a mistake in the darkroom during the drying of the film destroyed all but eight frames. It was the images from these frames however that inspired the visual style of Steven Spielberg's Oscar winning movie ‘Saving Private Ryan’. When Life magazine published the photographs, they claimed that they were slightly out of focus, and Capa later used this as the title of his autobiographical account of the war. Question 36: Robert Capa decided to move to France because of _______. A. his involvement in anti government protests B. the increase in Nazism C. building his reputation D. taking photographs Question 37:The word “originally” in the passage is closest in meaning to _______. A. familiarly B. eventually C. initially D. subsequently Question 38: Why did he change his name? A. To hide his identity B. To leave Hungary C. To be involved in protests D. To sound more American Question 39: Capa’s famous picture “The Death of a Loyalist Soldier” _______. A. was taken by someone else B. was definitely genuine C. wasn’t even taken in Spain D. cannot be proven genuine or staged Question 40: Which sentence best paraphrases the last paragraph? A. Capa never tried to avoid danger. He risked his life to take photographs of the D-Day invasion, but then destroyed most of them. B. Capa took some of his most famous photographs during the D-Day invasion, but most were tragically destroyed in an accident. C. Capa only kept the best eight D-Day photographs as the others were out of focus. These inspired the visual style of a Hollywood film. D. Capa left Europe when the war broke out and went to take his most famous photographs of the DDay invasion. 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 41 to 50. As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers have become increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart attacks. High-fat diets and "life in the fast lane" have long been known to contribute to the high incidence of heart failure. But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be significantly longer and quite surprising. Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns. A higher percentage of heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on Monday than on any other day of the week. In addition, people are more susceptible to heart attacks in the first few hours after waking. Cardiologists first observed this morning phenomenon in the mid-1980, and have since discovered a number of possible causes. An early-morning rise in blood pressure, heart rate, and concentration of heart stimulating hormones, plus a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may all contribute to the higher incidence of heart attacks between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M. In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors. Statistics reveal that heart attack rates increase significantly for both females and males in the few days immediately preceding and following their birthdays. And unmarried men are more 25 at risk for heart attacks than their married counterparts. Though stress is thought to be linked in some way to all of the aforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in the hope of further comprehending why and how heart failure is triggered. Question 41: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. risk factors in heart attacks B. seasonal and temporal patterns in heart attacks C. cardiology in the 1980s D. diet and stress as factors in heart attacks Question 42: In line 3, the word "potential" could best be re-placed by which of the following?

A. increase B. rate C. chance D. factor Question 45: The author uses the word "temporal" in line 9 to mean _______. A. affected by B. of a certain date C. regularly D. expected Question 46: The phrase "susceptible to" in line 12 could best be replaced by _______. A. aware of B. accustomed C. affected by D. prone to Question 47: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a possible cause of many heart attacks? A. decreased blood flow to the heart B. increased blood pressure C. lower heart rate D. increase in hormones Question 48: The word "phenomenon" in line 14 refers to which of the following?

We have not identified many risk factors associated with heart attacks. D. We do not fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks. ______________________THE END _______________________ ĐÁP ÁN ĐỀ THI THỬ SỐ 01 KỲ THI TRUNG HỌC PHỔ THÔNG QUỐC GIA NĂM 2017 Môn thi: TIẾNG ANH - Thời gian làm bài: 60 phút Họ và tên thí sinh: ……………………....
