Hiện nay chương trình học tiếng anh của chúng ta đang dần theo xu hướng hiện đại hóa, tiếp
cận nền tri thức tiên tiến của thế giới. Thực tế đó đã tác động mạnh mẽ đến cách thức học tập
ngày một hiện đại của chúng ta. Và nhằm đáp ứng nhu cầu học tiếng anh hiện đại của tất cả các
em học sinh đang theo học chương trình mới của bộ giáo dục, chúng tôi đã dành nhiều thời gian
và tâm sức biên soạn bộ sách Bài tập Tiếng Anh này với hy vọng mang lại cho các em những
kiến thức bổ ích và quan trọng nhất.
Cuốn sách được chia thành các đơn vị bài học. Mỗi đơn vị bài học đều bám sát chương trình
mới của bộ giáo dục. Trong mỗi bài học chúng tôi đều có chia ra thành các đơn vị kiến thức như
sau để học sinh dễ dàng tiếp thu.
Phần I: PHONICS. Trong phần này chúng tôi tập trung rèn luyện cách phát âm các âm tiết
quan trọng để các em có thể phát âm tiếng anh một cách chính xác như người bản ngữ.
Phần II: VOCABULARY. Trong phần này cung cấp cho các em không chỉ các từ mới trong
bài học mà còn các từ vựng có liên quan đến chủ điểm của bài học để các em có thể làm phong
phú hơn và nâng cao vốn từ vựng của mình.
Phần III: GRAMMAR. Ngữ pháp là trọng tâm căn bản xuyên suốt quá trình học tập của các
em đặc biệt là trong những năm học bậc phổ thông. Do vậy chúng tôi tập trung nhiều kiến thức
trong phần này để giúp các em hoàn thiện hệ thống ngữ pháp của mình một cách hoàn hảo nhất.
Phần IV: READING. Trong phần này các em sẽ luyện tập với việc đọc hiểu văn bản, một kỹ
năng rất quan trọng trong học tập của các em và đặc biệt trong kỳ thi Trung học Phổ thông Quốc
gia sắp tới của các em.
Phần IV: SPEAKING. Trong phần này các em sẽ luyện tập thực hành kỹ năng nói tiếng anh.
Có thể nổi kỹ năng nói là kỹ năng không thể thiếu trong việc học tiếng anh ngày nay của các em.
Chúng tôi hy vọng phần nói này sẽ là công cụ tốt nhất cho các em trong việc hoàn thiện các kỹ
năng nói tiếng anh của mình.
Phần V: WRITING. Trong phần này chúng tôi đã thiết kế các dạng bài luyện viết nhằm giúp
các em hoàn thiện kỹ năng khó nhất và cũng rất quan trọng của việc học tiếng anh. Đó là kỹ năng
viết. Đây cũng là một phần đặc biệt quan trọng trong quá trình học tập và thi cử của các em.
Các bài tập đều được biên soạn rất công phu, kỹ lưỡng và tâm huyết bởi các thủ khoa đại học
của trường Đại học Sư Phạm Hà Nội, Đại học Ngoại Ngữ - Đại học quốc gia Hà Nội và các thầy
cô đang trực tiếp đứng lóp tại các trường có uy tín trên khắp đất nước Việt Nam. Tuy vậy trong
quá trình biên soạn có lẽ sẽ vẫn còn những thiếu sót không thể tránh khỏi. Chúng tôi mong muốn
được lắng nghe những ý kiến góp ý chân thành nhất của các bạn để lần xuất bản sau cuốn sách sẽ
đầy đủ hơn, ý nghĩa hơn. Trân trọng cảm ơn tất cả quý độc giả, các em học sinh, các quý thầy cô
cùng các bạn đồng nghiệp đã giúp chúng tôi hoàn thành tác phẩm quý báu này! Trân Trọng.

IV. READING
1. Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question.
The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and
secondary education prior to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at
public or government-operated schools, or at private schools. These 12 years of schooling or
their equivalent may also be completed outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the
opportunity to pursue the benefits of the American education system and obtain a quality
American education. Perhaps one of the most impressive facts is that a large number of
presidents, prime ministers and leaders from other countries have experienced the American
education system and graduated from a university or school in the USA. In many fields and
industries, the American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at
the world's best schools. That is why graduating from an accredited American school and being
exposed to the rigors of the American education system is an investment in your future.
Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high
school, a thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential.
Without a clear grasp of the American education system, an international student will find it
difficult to make the right academic choices. It is no surprise that the American education system
and the American school system host more international students than any other country in the
world!

IV. READING
1. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
We live in a dynamic world, and habitats are always undergoing changes at all sorts of
levels. However, natural changes usually occur at a slow pace so that impacts on individual
species tend to be slight - at least in the short term. When the pace of change is greatly
accelerated, there may be no time for individual species to react to new circumstances, and
the effects can be disastrous. Briefly, this is the reason that rapid habitat loss is regarded as
the chief cause of species endangerment, and there is no force more powerful in this regard
than human beings. To some extent, every part of the earth has been affected by human
activities, especially during this past century. This applies on virtually every scale, from the
loss of microbes in soils that once supported tropical forests, to the extinction of fish and
other aquatic species in polluted freshwater habitats, to changes in global climate caused by
the release of greenhouse gases.
From the perspective of an individual human lifetime, such changes may be hard to detect
and their effects on individual species may be hard to predict. But the lesson is clear enough.
For example, although many countries have had plans to grow many tropical forests, they are
highly susceptible to destruction because the soils in which they grow are poor in available
nutrients. Centuries may be required to bring back a forest that was cut down or burnt out in
the space of a few years. Many of the world's severely threatened animals and plants live in
such forests, and it is certain that huge numbers of them will disappear if present rates of
forest loss continue.
