PART 5: THE SUBJUNCTIVE MOOD
Subjunctive Mood (thức giả định hay còn gọi là bàng thái cách) là cách động từ để diễn tả những gì trái với thực
tế hoặc chưa thực hiện, những gì còn nằm trong tiềm thức người ta. Ngày nay Subjunctive Mood không thông dụng vì
người ta quen diễn tả ý nghĩa subjunctive bằng những lối khác, như dùng cấu trúc:
shall, should, would, may, might + infinitive. Chẳng hạn,
Thay vì nói: It is our wish that he do what he pleases. (he do: subjunctive)
Người ta nói: It is our wish that he may do what he pleases. (he may do: subjunctive equivalent)
(Điều mong ước của chúng tôi là nó được làm những gì nó thích.)
Subjunctive Mood có 3 hình thức: Present Subjunctive, Past Subjunctive và Past Perfect Subjunctive.
1. THE PRESENT SUBJUNCTIVE (Hiện tại giả định)
Subject + Verb (bare infinitive) (Động từ để nguyên mặc dù chủ ngữ là ngôi thứ 3 số ít)
a) Dùng để diễn tả một lời chúc (wish) hay một lời cầu nguyện (prayer) như:
Long live Vietnam. (Việt Nam muôn năm!)
God save the Queen. (Cầu mong thượng đế ban phước cho Nữ Hoàng.)
God bless you. (Cầu mong thượng đế ban phước lành cho bạn.)
b) Dùng trong các mệnh đề danh từ bắt đầu bằng that làm tân ngữ của các động từ như: suggest (đề nghị),
recommend (đề nghị), propose (đề nghị), insist (khăng khăng đòi, khẳng định), command (ra lệnh), demand (đòi hỏi,
yêu sách), require (đòi hỏi, yêu cầu), request (yêu cầu),...
20
subject + verb + that + subject + verb (bare infinitive)
(any tense) (present subjunctive)
It is necessary that he find the book. (Điều cần thiết là anh ta phải tìm ra cuốn sách đó.)
(he find = he should find)
It was urgent that she leave at once. (Điều cấp bách là cô ta phải ra đi ngay lập tức.)
(she leave = she should leave)
It has been suggested that income tax be abolished . (Có đề nghị là bỏ thuế thu nhập.)
(income tax be abolished = income tax should be abolished)
Cần phân biệt cấu trúc: It is necessary/important/urgent ... that + S + (should) + bare infinitive
với cấu trúc: It is necessary/important/urgent/difficult/ ... (for + O) + to-infinitive
It is necessary that he (should) find the book. // It is necessary for him to find the book.
2. THE PAST SUBJUNCTIVE (Quá khứ giả định)
Past Subjunctive được thành lập giống hệt thì Past Simple (thêm -ED vào sau động từ hợp qui tắc, chọn cột thứ
hai(V2) đối với động từ bất qui tắc): Subject + V-ed/V2
Riêng động từ TO BE thì dùng WERE cho tất cả các ngôi (I were/ you were/ he were/ it were/ they were...). Tuy
nhiên ngày nay người ta có khuynh hướng dùng was đi với chủ ngữ số ít và were với số nhiều.
Past Subjunctive diễn tả một một hành động hay sự kiện không có thật (trái với sự thật) ở hiện tại và được dùng
trong các cấu trúc sau:
Lưu ý: Về hình thức Past Subjunctive giống với Past Simple nhưng về ý nghĩa thì hoàn toàn khác (xem cách dùng số
3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 thì Past Simple, trang 1)
(a) Dùng trong mệnh đề IF câu điều kiện loại 2 (điều kiện trái với sự thật ở hiện tại):
If + S + V(past subjunctive), S + would/could + V(infinitive)
Eg: I work at night, so I can’t attend the evening classes.
If I didn’t work at night, I could attend the evening classes.
(b) Dùng trong mệnh đề danh từ làm tân ngữ của động từ WISH khi diễn đạt ước muốn trái với sự thật ở hiện tại
(expressing present wishes): S + wish + (that) + S + V(past subjunctive)
= If only + S + V(past subjunctive)
Eg: I’m sorry I don’t live near my work. I wish I lived near my work.
I have to work in shifts. I wish I didn’t have to work in shifts.
21
I am not as clever as he is. I wish I were as clever as he is.
(c) Trong cấu trúc với WOULD RATHER
SUBJECT + WOULD RATHER + SUBJECT + VERB (past subjunctive): Muốn ai đó làm/đừng làm gì
(‘d rather)
Eg: I’d rather you went by train. (Tôi muốn bạn đi bằng tàu lửa hơn.)
I’d rather she didn’t go with you. (Tôi muốn cô ấy đừng đi với bạn.)
(d) Trong cấu trúc: IT’S (high) TIME + SUBJECT + VERB (past subjunctive)
Eg: It’s time we went home. (Đã đến lúc chúng ta phải về nhà.) // It’s time for us to go home.
(e) Trong mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thể cách (adverbial clause of manner) bắt đầu bằng AS IF/AS THOUGH (như thể
là) để diễn tả một một hành động không có thật ở hiện tại.
SUBJECT + VERB(Present Simple) + AS IF/AS THOUGH + S + V (past subjunctive)
Eg: She walks as if she had a wooden leg. (Cô ấy đi như thể là cô ta có một chân gỗ.)
He treats us as if we were all idiots. (Ông ta đối xử với chúng tôi như thể chúng tôi là những ...)

II.Read the following passages and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions:
Passage 1:
Hundreds of thousands of persons each year fall prey to some type of cancer, but new methods of
radiation therapy have enabled doctors to save more lives than ever before. Medical researches have
developed several effective forms in fighting the disease.
One promising approach involves exposing cancer cells to radiation by implanting a radioactive
source directly into the malignant tissue. This process greatly increases the dosage and thus the
effectiveness of the treatment. Another technique utilizes drugs to make cancer cells more
susceptible to the effects of radiation and to make normal cells more resistant. Certain drugs are able
to neutralize the genetic framework of cancer cells, thus making them more easily affected by
radiation. Both techniques have seen some positive results in the treatment of inoperable brain
tumors.
These and other methods have helped to raise the recovery rate for cancer victims from 30 percent
40 years ago to around 50 percent today. This is encouraging news for those who fall prey to one of
the world’s leading killers.
1. What’s the author’s main purpose in the passage ?
A. To provide statistical information on cancer.
B. To argue for new methods of cancer treatment.
C. To illustrate new techniques of radiation therapy.
D. To give the results of recent cancer research.
2. According to the passage, which of the following is true about radiation therapy ?
54
A. There is only one effective form of this therapy.
B. It saves millions of lives each year.
C. It is an accepted method of cancer treatment.
D. It causes the incidence of cancer to rise dramatically.
3. In line 5, the word malignant most closely means
A. diseased B. experimental C. treated D. porous
4. According to the passage, radiation therapy is most effective when
A. drugs are used to relax the cancer patient.
B. the cancer is directly exposed to the radioactive material.
C. it is used on as many patients as possible.
D. the cancer cells are resistant to treatment.
5. It can be inferred from the passage that
A. improvements in cancer treatment during the last half century have been relatively
ineffective.
B. the number of deaths caused by cancer has decreased substantially.
C. fewer people are susceptible to the effects of cancer.
D. scientists are close to eliminating cancer entirely
Passage 2:
The Sun releases large amount of energy. Most of the energy goes into space and some of it reaches
the earth. There are several kinds of energy from the sun but the two most important are light and
heat. Life on earth depends on light to grow; and humans and other animals need warmth to live.
Solar energy is not only unlimited but also it is clean. It does not pollute the air or water. Why doesn’t
the world use more solar power?
It is still very expensive to collect solar energy for use. Scientists around the world are trying to find
a cheaper way to collect it and change it into electricity for machines. For example, automobile
engineers are trying to develop electronic cars that use solar energy. Many buildings are using solar
energy to heat their water now.
Scientists are looking for other ways to use solar energy. For instance, they want to use it to take the
salt out of sea water. People who live in dry desert areas near oceans need fresh water. Scientists
want to supply this fresh water from the ocean. Related to this, researchers in Mexico and Abu Dhabi
are doing important work on desalination.
1.What does the text mainly discuss?
A. different kinds of solar energy B. who collects solar energy
C. how solar energy is used D. solar energy and its use in human life.
2.How is solar energy described in the text?
A. clean and limited in amount B. clean and never used up
C. clean and safe D. clean and cheaper than others
3.What is the answer for the question at the end of the first paragraph?
A. For we have to pay a dear price for it. B. For it is not easy to use it.
C. For we have to do lots of research. D. For we may have to depend on it.
4. What is one way of solar energy use NOT mentioned in the text?
A. used as heat to warm water B. used as power for engines
C. used as power for home lightening D. used as a way to desalinate ocean water
55
5. What does the word “desalination” probably mean in the text?
A. a reaction that changes solar energy into electricity.
B. a process that uses solar energy to heat water.
C. a process that uses solar energy to remove salt from sea water.
D. a new invention of scientists around the world about solar energy use.
Passage 3:
Many countries face a somewhat more serious economic problem in the form of an unfavorable trade
balance with other nations. Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a country’s imports
exceeds that of its exports. For example, if a country buys $25 billion in products from other
countries, yet sells only $10 billion of its own products oversea, its trade deficit is $15 billion. Many
underdeveloped nations find themselves in this position because they lack natural resources or the
industrial capacity to use these resources, and thus have to import raw materials or manufactured
goods.
One effect of a trade deficit is the flow of currency out of a country. In the case of an underdeveloped
nation, this can cause many financial difficulties, including failure to meet debt payments and
obstacles to creation of an industrial base. Even in the case of a fully developed nation such as the
United States, a large trade deficit is reason for alarm. American products, made by well-paid
workers in U.S. industries, cost more to produce than those made in places like Asia, where labor
and material costs are much lower. Money spent on foreign products is money not spent on items
produced by domestic industries.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Several worldwide economic problems B. The causes and consequences of trade
deficits
C. Lack of resources in underdeveloped countries D. The value of exports versus
imports.
2. According to the passage, when does a trade imbalance occur?
A. A country has a serious economic problem
B. A country sells more products overseas than its imports.
C. The value of the products a country imports is greater than the value of the products it
exports.
D. A country cannot develop its natural resources.
3. The passage states that many underdeveloped nations have traded deficits because
A. they find themselves in this position
B. they export most of their natural resources to other nations
C. they have to import most of their natural resources or manufactured products
D. they have failed to meet debt payments
4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible cause of a trade imbalance?
A. Low labor and material costs in Asian countries. B. A lack of natural resources.
C. An underdeveloped industrial base. D. The high cost of exported items.
5. It can be inferred from this passage that American industries
A. do not pay their workers sufficient wages B. are hurt by trade imbalance
C. import labor and material from overseas
D. provide a strong industrial base that prevents a trade deficit.
56
Passage 4:
Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it
gives people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as the opportunity to
study for their exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the
word, spend the morning studying. In the afternoon they go out and do a really useful activity, such
as helping on the farm, looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in
rivers.
One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many different social
backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two years, grants are
available.
A quarter of students are British, and many of those can only attend because they receive
government help. “I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding
among young people", as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. ''You learn to
live with people and respect them, even the ones you don't like. During the summer holidays my
mother couldn't believe how much less I argued with my sister."
To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods which really
seem to work.
1.What is the writer trying to do in the text?
A. give an opinion about a particular student
B. give an opinion about a special type of education
C. describe the activities the students do in their free time
D. describe his own experience of education
2.What can a reader find out from this text?
A. how to become a student at Atlantic College B. what kind of programme Atlantic College
offers
C. what the British education system is like D. how to get along better with other people
3.What is the writer's opinion of Atlantic College?
A. It doesn't allow students enough study time. B. Its students are taught to like each other.
C. It doesn’t give good value for money. D. Its way of teaching is successful.
4.How has Barbara changed since being at Atlantic College?
A. She knows a lot about other countries.
B. She is more confident than her sister now.
C. She finds it easier to get on with other people.
D. She prefers her new friends to her family.
5.The word "argued" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to_________.
A. quarreled B. respected C. admired D. regarded
