ĐỀ SỐ 2 SỞ GIÁO DỤC VÀ ĐÀO TẠO KỲ THI THỬ TỐT NGHIỆP THPT NĂM 2026 PHÚ THỌ MÔN: TIẾNG ANH LẦN 2 Thời gian làm bài: ..... phút (Không kể thời gian giao đề) Read the 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. For much of the 20th century, AI struggled not from a lack of ambition, but because available hardware wasn't powerful enough. Early systems hit limits on processing speed and memory, contributing to "AI winters" as progress stalled and funding dried up. Today, this problem is largely resolved. AI models are now trained on specialized chips in vast data centers. Compute, which used to be the main bottleneck, can now simply be purchased. Companies like Nvidia mass-produce powerful graphics processing units (GPUs)—originally designed for gaming but perfectly suited to AI calculations. What holds AI back now? The physical limit of electricity. Modern AI models don't just train once; they operate continuously, powering chatbots, search engines, and autonomous agents. This shift has made AI a constant, large-scale electricity consumer. According to Sampsa Samila of IESE Business School, "the core issue is not a shortage of energy in absolute terms, but rather the availability of reliable, firm capacity at the right place and the right time". Predictions for AI energy consumption show this strain. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects data centers will consume more than twice as much electricity by the decade's end. In parts of the U.S., data center power usage already rivals heavy industry. How AI is used matters as much as how it is trained. Training large models consumes immense power but occurs infrequently. What is growing faster is the everyday work of models responding to users. Samila notes that newer "reasoning" AI systems, which deliberate longer, push energy demands into everyday operations rather than occasional large training runs.

Paragraph 2 Read the 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 9 to 18. The so-called generation gap has arguably never been wider, yet it has never been more misunderstood. [I] Picture a family dinner at which a grandparent laments that young people are glued to screens, while a grandchild concludes the elder is irrelevant. Both retreat into their own certainties, leaving their misalignment of values, priorities, and lived experiences entirely unexamined. Commentators habitually frame this estrangement as a consequence of technological acceleration: older generations struggle to master tools that younger ones absorb instinctively, and each side interprets the other's unfamiliarity as evidence of deeper inadequacy. Social media has transformed what was once a private tension into an intractable cultural spectacle. Viral videos pit young professionals against exasperated older voices, harvesting engagement through generational grievance. Older adults are mocked as technologically incompetent and emotionally rigid; younger generations are dismissed as entitled and incapable of sustained effort. [II] Media features and corporate reports amplify these caricatures into boardrooms, classrooms, and policy chambers, where consequential decisions about employment, education, and social provision are made. The term 'generation gap' entered popular discourse in the 1960s, but the practice of treating generational difference as fixed, oppositional, and insurmountable has intensified in recent decades. Employers who dismiss younger workers as entitled simultaneously overlook their own rigidity in the face of change. [III] Researchers have documented how the burden of proof is disproportionately assigned to the young: it is consistently they who must adapt their communication styles, suppress their expectations, and perform gratitude for opportunities previous generations received without question. Performance review culture illustrates this imbalance most vividly, as assessments of 'professionalism' routinely encode the preferences of whoever holds the senior position. Why does this matter beyond interpersonal friction? Surface-level interventions — reverse- mentoring programmes and generational awareness workshops — are adopted by HR departments eager to signal modernity while leaving underlying power hierarchies untouched. [IV] Expecting harmony between generations without fostering conditions for genuine mutual listening resembles asking two musicians to perform in unison when neither has agreed to hear the other's melody. Collaborative possibilities remain squandered, not because the divide is unbridgeable, but because addressing it seriously would require organisations to redistribute power rather than merely rebrand it. Bridging the generation gap authentically — through enforceable equity, transparent dialogue, and a genuine willingness to revise inherited assumptions — is indispensable if workplaces and families are to harness the full range of human experience across age. Question 9. According to paragraph 1, framing the generation gap purely as a consequence of technological acceleration will. A. prevent any genuine exploration of the deeper value and priority differences separating both sides B. prove financially costly for families attempting to close the technological divide at home C. widen the existing digital competence gap between older and younger generations significantly D. inspire both older and younger generations to invest greater effort in mastering unfamiliar tools Question 10. The word intractable in paragraph 2 mostly means. A. constant B. evolving C. outdated D. insignificant Question 11. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 2? A. Social media platforms have become the primary arena in which generational stereotypes are produced, circulated, and eventually dismantled. B. Generational stereotypes have spread beyond private settings into media and institutions where consequential decisions are made. C. Corporate diversity reports have successfully reduced generational tension in workplaces by representing the perspectives of both employers and employees fairly. D. Digital communication has made it easier for members of different generations to identify common ground and bridge inherited cultural divisions. Question 12. What does the passage suggest about employers who dismiss younger workers as entitled? A. They are equally susceptible to generational bias, failing to recognise their own resistance to change. B. They are products of a formal education system that never adequately prepared them for managing a multi-generational workforce. C. They are largely correct in their assessments, as younger workers consistently fail to demonstrate adequate commitment to organisational goals. D. They are typically overruled by HR departments that enforce strict equity policies across all generational cohorts. Question 13. What challenge do younger workers face in professional environments, according to paragraph 3? A. A systematic exclusion from senior promotional pathways regardless of demonstrated performance B. A widespread tendency among peers of the same generation to undermine one another's efforts C. An unequal expectation that they must be the ones to adjust their behaviour to fit existing norms D. A legal framework that actively prevents them from challenging outdated professional standards Question 14. The word their in paragraph 3 refers to. A. researchers B. opportunities C. generations D. the young Question 15. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4? A. Generational harmony is impossible unless both sides adopt the same communication technology as a shared platform for dialogue. B. Cohesion across generations cannot be achieved unless both sides are genuinely willing to understand and acknowledge each other's perspective. C. Since both generations already share common goals, the only remaining barrier to harmony is the absence of a structured programme to coordinate their efforts. D. The differences between generations are so fundamental that no institutional intervention, however well-designed, can realistically overcome them. Question 16. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. Younger and older workers, having recognised their mutual biases, are increasingly collaborating to reform the professional review systems that disadvantage both groups. B. HR departments are effectively dismantling intergenerational hierarchies through the consistent and rigorous application of reverse-mentoring programmes. C. Organisations play an active role in preserving the conditions that sustain intergenerational division, as redistributing power would threaten existing institutional structures. D. The primary responsibility for resolving generational conflict rests with older workers, who hold the institutional power needed to initiate meaningful structural change. Question 17. Where in the passage does the following sentence best fit? Yet the more consequential divide is not technological but psychological. A. [IV] B. [II] C. [III] D. [I] Question 18. Which of the following best summarises the passage? A. The generation gap is a culturally reinforced divide that demands genuine structural reform, not superficial fixes. B. Bridging the generation gap requires younger generations to take the initiative in revising their professional expectations and communication habits to align with established norms. C. The rise of social media has made the generation gap irreversible, as digital platforms continuously produce new stereotypes faster than institutions can address the old ones. D. Intergenerational conflict is predominantly a workplace issue, and its resolution depends entirely on employers introducing enforceable equity policies in performance review systems.

(31)____ Across both wealthy and developing nations, the growing gap between those who possess digital skills and those who do not, (32)____ is reshaping access to employment, education, and civic participation in profound ways. This unequal distribution of technological competence has led policymakers to question whether existing education systems are adequately equipping all members of society to thrive in an increasingly automated world.

Absence of skilled AI engineers and scientists Đoạn văn nêu các nguyên nhân khiến AI phát triển chậm trong thế kỉ 20 là: • phần cứng chưa đủ mạnh, • tốc độ xử lí hạn chế, • bộ nhớ hạn chế, • tiến bộ bị đình trệ nên nguồn vốn cạn dần. Không có chỗ nào nói do thiếu kĩ sư hay nhà khoa học AI. => Đáp án B Câu 2: A. accelerated stalled = đình trệ, chững lại. Từ trái nghĩa phải là accelerated = tăng tốc. Các từ còn lại như frozen, prevented, paused đều gần nghĩa dừng lại. => Đáp án A Câu 3: A. the change from AI training occasionally to AI operating continuously across multiple applications Cụm This shift nằm ngay sau câu: “Modern AI models don't just train once; they operate continuously...” Vậy “shift” là sự chuyển đổi từ việc chỉ huấn luyện thỉnh thoảng sang vận hành liên tục trong nhiều ứng dụng. => Đáp án A Câu 4: B. barrier bottleneck trong ngữ cảnh này nghĩa là điểm nghẽn / trở ngại chính. Trong 4 lựa chọn, barrier là gần nghĩa nhất. => Đáp án B Câu 5: C. The challenge is not the global energy supply, but ensuring stable power is available where and when AI systems require it. Câu gạch chân nói: • vấn đề cốt lõi không phải là thế giới thiếu năng lượng nói chung, • mà là nguồn điện ổn định, đáng tin cậy phải có đúng nơi, đúng lúc. Phương án C diễn đạt đúng ý này nhất. => Đáp án C Câu 6: B. Training large AI models is currently the fastest-growing source of AI energy consumption. Đề hỏi câu NOT TRUE. Đoạn 4 nói rất rõ: • việc huấn luyện mô hình lớn tiêu thụ nhiều điện, nhưng không diễn ra thường xuyên; • cái tăng nhanh hơn là hoạt động hằng ngày khi mô hình phản hồi người dùng. Vậy B là sai. => Đáp án B Câu 7: B. Paragraph 1 Thông tin “GPU ban đầu được thiết kế cho game nhưng rất phù hợp với tính toán AI” nằm ở đoạn 1. => Đáp án B Câu 8: A. Paragraph 4 Đoạn 4 nói về: • công việc hằng ngày của mô hình, • hệ thống AI “reasoning” mới, • nhu cầu năng lượng chuyển vào hoạt động thường ngày. => Đáp án A PHẦN 2: Đọc hiểu (Câu 9–18) Câu 9: A. prevent any genuine exploration of the deeper value and priority differences separating both sides Đoạn 1 nói nếu chỉ xem khoảng cách thế hệ là do công nghệ, thì sự khác biệt về: • giá trị, • ưu tiên, • trải nghiệm sống sẽ bị bỏ qua, không được xem xét thật sự. => Đáp án A Câu 10: A. constant intractable thường nghĩa là khó giải quyết, nan giải. Trong 4 phương án, không có từ nào đồng nghĩa hoàn toàn. constant là gần nhất theo sắc thái “dai dẳng, kéo dài, khó dứt”. Các phương án còn lại sai hơn: • evolving = đang phát triển, • outdated = lỗi thời, • insignificant = không quan trọng. => Đáp án A Câu 11: B. Generational stereotypes have spread beyond private settings into media and institutions where consequential decisions are made. Đoạn 2 nói: • mạng xã hội biến mâu thuẫn riêng tư thành “cảnh tượng văn hóa” công khai, • truyền thông và báo cáo doanh nghiệp khuếch đại định kiến, • định kiến ấy đi vào phòng họp, lớp học, nơi hoạch định chính sách. => Ý khái quát đúng nhất là B. => Đáp án B Câu 12: A. They are equally susceptible to generational bias, failing to recognise their own resistance to change. Đoạn 3 nói các nhà tuyển dụng chê người trẻ “entitled” nhưng lại không nhận ra chính họ cũng cứng nhắc trước thay đổi. => Đáp án A Câu 13: C. An unequal expectation that they must be the ones to adjust their behaviour to fit existing norms Đoạn 3 cho biết gánh nặng chứng minh bị đẩy về phía người trẻ: • họ phải điều chỉnh cách giao tiếp, • kìm nén kì vọng, • tỏ ra biết ơn. Nghĩa là người trẻ bị kì vọng phải thích nghi theo chuẩn sẵn có. => Đáp án C Câu 14: D. the young Trong câu: “it is consistently they who must adapt their communication styles...” they / their chỉ the young = người trẻ. => Đáp án D Câu 15: B. Cohesion across generations cannot be achieved unless both sides are genuinely willing to understand and acknowledge each other's perspective. Câu gạch chân ví việc mong hai thế hệ hòa hợp mà không lắng nghe nhau như yêu cầu hai nhạc công chơi hòa hợp khi không ai chịu nghe giai điệu của người kia. Ý chính là: muốn hòa hợp thì phải thật sự lắng nghe và thấu hiểu nhau. => Đáp án B Câu 16: C. Organisations play an active role in preserving the conditions that sustain intergenerational division, as redistributing power would threaten existing institutional structures. Từ bài đọc có thể suy ra: • các tổ chức không chỉ đứng ngoài, • họ duy trì tình trạng chia rẽ, • vì giải quyết thật sự sẽ đòi hỏi phân phối lại quyền lực, điều này đe dọa cấu trúc hiện có. => Đáp án C Câu 17: D. [I] Câu cần chèn: “Yet the more consequential divide is not technological but psychological.” Phù hợp nhất sau câu mở đầu chung, tức vị trí [I], vì: • câu trước nói khoảng cách thế hệ bị hiểu sai, • câu chèn bổ sung: sai ở chỗ vấn đề lớn hơn không phải công nghệ mà là tâm lí, • rồi mới đến ví dụ bữa ăn gia đình. => Đáp án D Câu 18: A. The generation gap is a culturally reinforced divide that demands genuine structural reform, not superficial fixes. Toàn bài nhấn mạnh: • khoảng cách thế hệ bị truyền thông và thể chế khuếch đại, • không thể giải quyết bằng biện pháp bề nổi, • cần cải cách thật sự về quyền lực, đối thoại, công bằng. => Đáp án A
