10
 THPT Mạc Đĩnh Chi - Đề cương tiếng Anh lớp 11 – HK1, năm học 2021 – 2022

We started preparing for the trip at six in the morning, and left camp with two elephants carrying our
equipment. It was hot but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes. In the
jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. We climbed onto
the elephants' backs to get better view, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep
in the heat of the day.
Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We crept nearer and found
a dead deer, still bleeding. This was the tiger's lunch! Suddenly I started to feel very frightened.
We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out like a flash of lightning, five hundred kilos
plus and four meters long. I looked into its eyes and face, and saw right down the animal's throat. It
grabbed Kamal's leg between its teeth, but I managed to pull Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the
tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it
was impossible to sleep.

IV. Read the passage below. Then choose one best answer (A), (B), (C) or (D) to each question.
The grasshopper is an insect found in all but the most frigid parts of the world. There are two main
types of grasshoppers: long-horned grasshoppers and short-horned grasshoppers. The insects are
distinguished by the length of their antennae, or feelers, which can be called horns as well. Short-horned
grasshoppers are also known as locusts.
Most grasshoppers start laying eggs in the late summer and early fall. The eggs hatch the following
spring. Unlike most insects, newborn grasshoppers resemble adults, except for the absence of wings. In
the second month of life, a young grasshopper sheds its shell and grows a new one several times. This
process, called molting, is the transition from youth to adulthood.
Grasshoppers spend their time in fields and meadows eating the leaves of plants and trees. Some
varieties are particular about what they eat, but most will consume anything they can find. At times they
may destroy whole crops of grain, especially as swarms of locusts. In the western United States,
grasshoppers destroy several million dollars worth of crops every year, despite efforts by farmers to
control them with chemicals.

IV. Read the passage below. Then choose one best answer (A), (B), (C) or (D) to each question.
FIRE
Man discovered fire many thousands of years ago. The first time he saw fire was probably when a
tree was struck by lightning. He soon learned how to make fire for himself, however. Man probably
made his first fires by rubbing two sticks together.
Fire was very important to man. He needed fire to keep himself warm at night. He used to cook his
food. He used fire to frighten away enemies and wild animals. In some parts of the world he used fire to
signal messages. Red Indians, for example, used fire to make smoke signals. In some other countries
people lit fires to warn their friends of danger.
Fire is also used to give light. Before the invention of the oil lamp, man used burning sticks as
torches, and before man discovered gas and electricity, he hung small fires in wire baskets from post to
light the streets.
One man used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that took exactly
twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal parts. He lit the candle and could tell
the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But the candle clock did not always
work well. If there was a wind blowing on the candle, the flame burned too quickly.
