Khóa học LTðH môn Tiếng Anh – Giáo viên: Vũ Thị Mai Phương Giản lược mệnh ñề quan hệ và luyện tập
Rút gọn mệnh ñề tính từ có các dạng sau:

1. Dùng cụm V_ing:
Dùng cho các mệnh ñề chủ ñộng
Ex: The man who is standing there is my brother.
The man standing there is my brother.
2. Dùng cụm P.P:

Dùng cho các mệnh ñề bị ñộng .
Ex: I like books which were written by NguyenDu.
I like books written by NguyenDu.
3. Dùng cụm “to V(inf)”:

Dùng khi danh từ ñứng trứoc có các chữ sau ñây bổ nghĩa :
- ONLY,LAST,số thứ tự như: FIRST,SECOND...
Ex: This is the only student who can do the problem.
This is the only student to do the problem.
-ðộng từ là HAVE/HAD
Ex: I have many homework that I must do.
I have many homework to do.
-ðầu câu có HERE (BE), THERE (BE)
Ex: There are six letters which have to be written today.
There are six letters to be written today.
GHI NHỚ:
Trong phần “to V(inf)” này các bạn cần nhớ 2 ñiều sau:
- Nếu chủ từ 2 mệnh ñề khác nhau thì thêm cụm “for sb” trước “to V(inf)”.
Ex: We have some picture books that children can read.
We have some picture books for children to read.
Tuy nhiên nếu chủ từ ñó là ñại từ có nghĩa chung chung như we,you,everyone.... thì có thể không cần ghi ra.
Ex: Studying abroad is the wonderful thing that we must think about.
Studying abroad is the wonderful (for us) to think about.
- Nếu trước relative pronoun có giới từ thì phải ñem xuống cuối câu. (ñây là lỗi dễ sai nhất).
Ex: We have a peg on which we can hang our coat.
We have a peg to hang our coat on.
4. Dùng cụm danh từ (ñồng cách danh từ )
Dùng khi mệnh ñề tình từ có dạng:

S + BE + DANH TỪ /CỤM DANH TỪ/CỤM GIỚI TỪ
Cách làm:

Ex: 1. Football, which is a popular sport, is very good for health.
Football, a popular sport, is very good for health.
2. Do you like the book which is on the table?
Do you like the book on the table?
PHƯƠNG PHÁP LÀM BÀI LOẠI RÚT GỌN
Khi học thì ta học từ dễ ñến khó nhưng khi làm bài thì ngược lại phải suy luận từ khó ñến dễ.
Bước 1: Tìm xem mệnh ñề tính từ nằm chổ nào
Bước này cũng dễ vì mệnh ñề tính từ thường bắt ñầu bằng WHO,WHICH,THAT...
BƯỚC 2: Bước này chủ yếu là giảm từ mệnh ñề xuống cụm từ, tuy nhiên cách suy luận cũng phải theo
thứ tự nếu không sẽ làm sai.
Ex: This is the first man who was arrested by police yesterday.
Mới nhìn ta thấy ñây là câu bị ñộng, nếu vội vàng thì sẽ dễ dàng biến nó thành:
This is the first man arrested by police yesterday. SAI
Thật ra ñáp án là:
This is the first man to be arrested by police yesterday. ðÚNG
Vậy thì cách thức nào ñể không bị sai?

Các bạn hãy lần lượt làm theo các bước sau:
1. Nhìn xem mệnh ñề có công thức S + BE + CỤM DANH TỪ không ? Nếu có áp dụng công thức 4 .
2. Nếu không có công thức ñó thì xem tiếp trước who which... có các dấu hiệu first ,only...v..v không ,nếu
có thì áp dụng công thức 3 (to V(inf) ) lưu ý thêm xem 2 chủ từ có khác nhau không ( ñể dùng for sb )
3 .Nếu không có 2 trường hợp trên mới xét xem câu ñó chủ ñộng hay bị ñộng mà dùng V_ING hay P.P..
Dùng V_ing / V-3 / V_ed / to V ñể viết lại câu:

1. The conditional “type II” and “type III”

- Type II: If the Earth were an apple, I would eat it.
- Type III: If it hadn’t rained yesterday, I would have gone a picnic.
2. The structure: Đã đến lúc …

It’s time ………………
It’s high time………… S + V(past subjunctive) (be = were)
It’s about time ……….
Ex: It’s high time we worked harder. Đã đến lúc chúng ta cần làm việc chăm chỉ hơn.
3. The structure: as if/ as though: như thể là …

a. S + V(present simple) + as if/ as though + S + V(past subjunctive) (be = were)
Cách sử dụng: Dùng trong câu không có thực ở hiện tại.
Ex: She loves me as if/ as though she were my mother
b. S + V(past simple) + as if/ as though + S + V(past perfect)

Cách sử dụng: Dùng trong câu không có thực trong quá khứ.
Ex: She talked as if/ as though she had known I was ill.
Notes: So sánh: as if (though) và seem (appear)

Các từ trên đều biểu thị: dường như, có vẻ … nhưng có sự khác nhau.
+ seem và appear: là kể về sự thực hoặc gần như sự thực dung dạng câu bình thường.
+ as if và as though: trên thực tế là không phải, mà chỉ là “tựa như”.
Trong trường hợp “as if (though)” gặp phải “it seems…” thì ta có thể dung như “seem” để biểu thị có khả
năng là sự thực.
Ex: There are black clouds in the sky, It looks as if it’s going to rain.
4. The structure: would rather: ai đó thích ai đó làm gì hơn

S + would rather + S + V(past subjunctive) (be = were)

S + wish(es) (that) + S + V(past subjunctive) (be = were)
Ex: - I don’t live in Ho Chi Ming city now I wish (that) I lived in Ho Chi Minh city now.
- I can’t play the piano I wish I could play the piano.
Notes: S + wish(es) + S + would + V(inf) được dùng trong các trường hợp sau:
- Có các trạng từ chỉ thời gian trong tương lai: tomorrow, next week/ month…
Ex: He will not visit me tomorrow I wish he would visit me tomorrow
- Nói về thời tiết: khi người nói không bằng lòng với tình trạng thời tiết hiện tại và mong nó thay đổi.
Ex: It’s raining now I wish it would stop raining.
- Người nói không hài lòng với tình cách của ai đó và mong nó thay đổi.
Ex: Lan always goes to school late I wish Lan wouldn’t go to school late.
b. Wishes for the past (không có thực trong quá khứ)

S + wish + (that) + S + V(past perfect)
Ex: I didn’t know you were ill I wish I had known you were ill.
Notes: if only = I wish/ we wish
Ex: If only you were here now
PART II: SUBJUNCTIVE SENTENCE
Là hình thức dùng động từ nguyên thể khi động từ đó đứng sau một số động từ và tính từ nhất định để chỉ
ai đó muốn ai đó làm gì. Trong câu bắt buộc phải có “that”.
1. S + V(any tenses) + that + S + (should) + V(inf)

Demand = require = request, advise = recommend, ask, suggest, urge, insist (nài nỉ), order, propose,
prefer
Ex: The doctor suggested that he (should) stop smoking.
We proposed that he go to school on time
Note: Nếu không có “that” ta dùng cấu trúc: S + V(any tenses) + sb to do st
2. It + to be(any tenses) + adj + that + S + (should) + V(inf)

LUYỆN TẬP
I. MỘT SỐ LƯU Ý
1. Quan sát cấu trúc ngữ pháp của câu:

Ex 1: The equipment in our office needs _____.
A. moderner B. modernizing C. modernized D. modernization.
Câu có chủ ngữ là vật (The equipment) nên sau need sẽ là một V_ing – Đáp án của câu là modernizing.
Mỗi một loại động từ chỉ đi với một dạng bổ trợ nhất định. Khi các em biết được cấu trúc của nó rồi thì
việc xác định cấu tạo của từ đi sau nó rất dễ dàng.
Các động từ như mind, enjoy, avoid, finish, keep...thì động từ đi sau nó luôn là V_ing. Các động từ
như agree, aim, appear, ask, attempt, decide, demand ...thì bổ trợ luôn là động từ nguyên thể có to.
Ex 2: That is the most _____ girl I’ve seen.

A. beautifuler B. beautiful C. beautifulest D. beautifully
Từ cần điền là một tính từ bổ nghĩa cho girl. Trước vị trí ô trống là the most – dấu hiệu của so sánh nhất.
Đến đây nhiều em sẽ chọn beautifulest vì nghĩ rằng tính từ ở dạng so sánh nhất thêm –est cuối từ nhưng
quy tắc này chỉ áp dụng với tính từ ngắn, đối với tính từ dài (hai âm tiết trở nên ) thì cấu trúc sẽ là the
most + nguyên mẫu tính từ.
2. Khi 4 phương án A, B, C, D đều thuộc cùng loại từ vựng (danh từ hoặc tính từ) thì các em phải xem
xét ý nghĩa của từng từ để chọn đáp án chính xác nhất.
Ex: Computer is one of the most important _____of the 20th century.
A. inventings B. inventories C. inventions D. inventor
Sau one of phải là một danh từ số nhiều. Tuy nhiên inventories lại có nghĩa là bản tóm tắt, bản kiểm
kê trong khi inventions là sự phát minh, sáng chế. Đáp án của câu đương nhiên là inventions.
Nếu không các em hãy chú ý đến đuôi –tion, một cách cấu tạo danh từ chỉ vật từ động từ rất thông dụng
cũng có thể suy ra đáp án của câu.
3. Xem xét ý nghĩa phủ định của từ

Khi thêm các tiền tố như in, un, ir, dis... thì nghĩa của từ bị đảo ngược hoàn toàn. Dựa vào các yếu tố đó
các em có thể nhận biết được nghĩa của từ là khẳng định hay phủ định.
Tuy nhiên mỗi một từ chỉ có thể kết hợp với một loại phụ tố nhất định. Ví dụ responsible chỉ kết hợp với
tiền tố ir-; illegal chỉ kết hợp với tiền tố il-...
Ex: I think it’s very _____ of him to expect us to work overtime every night this week.
A. reason B. reasonable C unreasonable D. inreasonable
Từ cần điền là một tính từ. Cụm từ “work overtime every night this week” mang hàm ý phủ định nên tính
từ của câu cũng mang nghĩa phủ định – unreasonable. (Reasonable chỉ kết hợp với tiền tố un- để tạo nên
từ trái nghĩa).
Để làm dạng bài tập này các em phải liên hệ từ cần điền với các cụm từ khác trong câu để nhận biết được
ý của câu là khẳng định hay phủ định rồi từ đó xác định dạng thức của từ.
II. MỘT SỐ CÁCH CẤU TẠO TỪ THÔNG DỤNG
1. Cấu tạo danh từ

- Danh từ được cấu tạo từ động từ bằng cách thêm các hậu tố như: -ment (arrangement, management...);
-tion, -ion (repetition, decision...); -ence (reference, dependence). Chỉ người thì thêm các phụ tố như –
ee (empoyee), -er (teacher), -or (competitor), -ist(dentist...)...
- Danh từ được cấu tạo từ tính từ bằng cách thêm các hậu tố như: -ty (difficulty...), -ness(carefulness...), -
bility (responsibility...), -ce (confidence...)...
2. Cấu tạo tính từ

Tính từ thường được cấu tạo từ danh từ và động từ bằng cách thêm các hậu tố như – ful(beautiful,
helpful...), -less (harmless, careless...), -ous (dangerous, continuous...), - al(financial, econimical...), -
ic (climatic, politic...), - tive (active, competitive...), -able(trainable...), -ible (defensible...)...
3. Cấu tạo động từ

- Động từ được cấu tạo bằng thêm một số phụ tố tố vào danh từ: en- (encourage); -en(threaten)...
- Động từ được cấu tạo bằng thêm một số phụ tố vào tính từ: en- (enlarge); -en (widen); -ise; -
ize (modernize, industrialise), -fy (purify) ...
4. Cấu tạo trạng từ

Trạng từ thường được cấu tạo bằng việc thêm đuôi –ly vào tính từ: quick – quickly, beautiful –
beautifully... Một số trạng từ có hình thức giống với tính từ: fast, hard, far, much...
5) Các tiền tố làm đảo ngược nghĩa của từ

Khi thêm một số tiền tố như un- (unhappy), in- (inactive), dis- (dislike), mis- (misspell,
misunderstand), ir- (irresponsible), il- (illegal)... thì nghĩa của từ sẽ trái ngược hoàn toàn. Tuy nhiên mỗi
từ lại chỉ có thể kết hợp với một loại phụ tố nhất định, ví dụ như mis- chỉ kết hợp được
với understand, spell chứ không kết hợp được với happy hay active.
Ex: Her boring essay is the ..................... I have ever read. (LENGTH)
1. Xác định từ loại của từ cần điền dựa vào các từ xung quanh và cấu trúc câu.
Dễ dàng nhận thấy từ loại cần điền vào ở đây là Adjective.
2. Xác định nghĩa của từ cần điền dựa vào ngữ nghĩa của câu và từ cho sẵn.
Ngữ "boring essay" cộng thêm từ cho sẵn "LENGTH" làm ta nghĩ ngay đến từ "LONG".
3. Xem lại cấu trúc và ngữ cảnh trong câu để thêm các tiền tố, hậu tố,... nếu cần thiết.
Nhận thấy dấu hiệu của so sánh hơn nhất "the ...", ta thêm hậu tố -est vào vì đây là tính từ ngắn.
Vậy đáp án là LONGEST.

1. Practice exercise 1
1. This company offers a lot of ........................... jobs. (ATTRACTIVE)
2. It's impossible to ........................... everybody. (PLEASANT)

Khóa học LTĐH môn Tiếng Anh – Giáo viên: Vũ Thị Mai Phương Trọng âm trong Tiếng Anh
TRỌNG ÂM TRONG TIẾNG ANH

I. NGỮ ÂM
1. Cách đọc phiên âm trong từ điển
2. Ngữ điệu
- Sự nhấn mạnh trong câu: những từ tạo nên ý nghĩa chính của câu sẽ được nhấn mạnh như danh từ,
động từ chính. Những từ chức năng như: giới từ, liên từ thường chỉ được lướt qua.
- Người ta thường cao giọng ở câu hỏi, hạ giọng ở câu khẳng định, câu mệnh lệnh. Đôi khi một
người phát âm đúng nguyên âm và phụ âm nhưng sai ngữ điệu cũng làm người nghe không hiểu
được.
II. TRỌNG ÂM
1. Trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất

- Hầu hết danh từ và tính từ có 2 âm tiết thì trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất.
Ex: Danh từ: CHIna, TAble, KNOWledge, SERvice
Tính từ: PAtient, CLEver, HAPpy
- Đối với động từ nếu âm tiết thứ 2 chứa nguyên âm ngắn như er, el thì trọng âm sẽ rơi vào âm tiết thứ
nhất.
Ex: ENter, TRAvel, Open...
- Các động từ có âm tiết cuối chứa ow thì trọng âm cũng rơi vào âm tiết đầu.
Ex: FOllow, BOrrow...
- Các từ 3 âm tiết có âm tiết cuối chứa nguyên âm dài hoặc nguyên âm đôi hoặc kết thúc nhiều hơn một
phụ âm thì âm tiết đầu nhận trọng âm.
Ex: PAradise, EXercise
2. Trọng âm vào âm tiết thứ hai

- Hầu hết động từ có 2 âm tiết thì trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ 2.
Ex: to deCIDE, to begIN
Ex: proVIDE, proTEST, aGREE...
- Đối với động từ 3 âm tiết quy tắc sẽ như sau: Nếu âm tiết cuối chứa nguyên âm ngắn hoặc kết thúc
không nhiều hơn một nguyên âm thì âm tiết thứ 2 sẽ nhận trọng âm.
Ex: deTERmine, reMEMber, enCOUNter...
3. Trọng âm rơi vào âm thứ 2 tính từ dưới lên

- Trong các từ có các hậu tố dưới đây thì trọng âm được đặt ở âm tiết ngay trước hậu tố: –ic (GRAphic,
geoGRAphic, Logic), -ical (CRItical), -sion (sucCESSion), -tion (sugGEStion, reveLAtion), -aphy
(phoTOgraphy), -ogy (geOlogy), -ity (dependaBIlity), -acy (deMOcracy) ,-ian (muSIcian), - id (STUpid),
-ible (POSsible), -ish (FOOlish), -ive (NAtive), -ous (advantAgeous), -ial (equaTOrial, SPECial)…
* Ngoại lệ: TElevision có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất.
4. Từ ghép (từ có 2 phần)

- Đối với các danh từ ghép trọng âm rơi vào phần đầu: BLACKbird, GREENhouse...
- Đối với các tính từ ghép trọng âm rơi vào phần thứ 2: bad-TEMpered, old-FASHioned...
- Đối với các động từ ghép trọng âm rơi vào phần thứ 2: to underSTAND, to overFLOW...
5. Từ có 3 âm tiết trở lên

- Danh từ, động từ từ 3 âm tiết trở lên thường có trọng âm rơi vào âm thứ 3 từ dưới lên
Ex: faMIliar, parTIcular, inTERpreter, geOgraphy, opporTUnity...
Lưu ý:
1. Các phụ tố không làm ảnh hưởng đến trọng âm câu: -able, -age, -al, -en, -ful, -ing, -ish, -less, -ment, -
ous. Tất cả những trạng từ chỉ thể cách tận cùng bằng LY đều có chủ âm theo tính từ gốc của nó.
Ex: PAtiently, DIFferently, DIFficultly….
2. Các phụ tố bản thân nó nhận trọng âm câu: -ain (entertain), -ee (refugee,trainee), -ese (Portuguese,
Japanese), -ique (unique), -ette (cigarette), -esque (picturesque), -eer (mountaineer), -oo (bamboo), -oon
(balloon), -mental (fundamental), _end (recommend)
* Ngoại lệ: COffee, comMITtee, Engine
Đánh dấu trọng âm vào các từ sau đây:
ability accept accident action advise affect airport amazing annoy appearance approach arrange
association athlete attend beauty biology campus cancel candidate certificate chemical collect comfort
comfortable compare comparison confide conversation creative dangerous decorate deny employ
employer employee enormous entertainment environment environmental explain explanation
communicate friendship

Khóa học LTĐH môn Tiếng Anh – Giáo viên: Vũ Thị Mai Phương Luyện tập và chữa đề
LUYỆN TẬP VÀ CHỮA ĐỀ

Cấp độ cụm từ
Khi học bài trên lớp, học sinh thường không chú ý nhiều đến các cụm từ cố định. Hầu như học sinh mới
chỉ dừng lại ở việc hiểu nghĩa của các cụm từ đó nhưng như vậy là chưa đủ. Các bài điền từ thường nhằm
vào những cụm từ trên, bỏ trống một thành phần và yêu cầu học sinh chọn từ điền vào. Các phương án
đưa ra thường không khác nhau về chức năng/ ngữ nghĩa nhưng chỉ có một phương án kết hợp được với
các thành tố xung quanh và là đáp án đúng.
Ví dụ: Her parents wanted her to go to university but I know that she was really fed ____(2)____ with
studying.
(2) A. on B. in C. up D. down
Trong 4 giới từ trên chỉ có up là đáp án đúng vì khi kết hợp với từ đứng trước và từ đi sau thì nó tạo thành
một cụm từ có nghĩa.
Chính vì vậy, trong quá trình học tập các em cần lưu ý học thuộc những cụm từ xuất hiện cố định như:
• To be fond of sth = to be keen on sth: yêu thích cái gì
• To be interested in sth: thích thú, quan tâm cái gì
• To be good at sth: giỏi về lĩnh vực gì, giỏi làm gì
• To be surprised at sth: ngạc nhiên vì điều gì…
• To be fed up with sth: chán điều gì
• To be bored with sth: chán làm gì
• To be tired of sth: mệt mỏi vì điều gì
• To be afraid of sth: sợ, e ngại điều gì
Ngoài ra, các câu hỏi cũng hay tập trung vào những cụm động tân cố định hoặc những cụm động ngữ
(phrasal verbs)
Cấp độ cấu trúc
Người ra đề có thể bỏ bớt một từ trong các cấu trúc học sinh đã được học trong sách giáo khoa và đưa ra 4
phương án lựa chọn. Khi làm các câu hỏi này, các em cần lưu ý phân biệt rõ các từ và đặt nó vào bối cảnh
cụ thể trong câu vì các lựa chọn đưa ra hầu hết đều có cùng ý nghĩa với nhau nhưng chỉ có một từ có thể
điền vào chỗ trống để tạo thành cấu trúc đúng.
Ví dụ: It really takes you years to get to know someone well _____ to consider your best friend.
A. enough B. such C. too D. so
Trong câu trên, chỉ có enough có thể được điền vào chỗ trống để tạo thành cấu trúc có nghĩa là V + Adv +
enough + to do sth. Trong khi đó, such và so thường đi kèm với mệnh đề phía sau. Too cũng có cấu trúc
gần giống enough nhưng khác về vị trí và ý nghĩa.
Hãy xem ví dụ sau:

The coffee is too hot to drink.
(Cà phê nóng quá nên không thể uống được).
Như vậy, cấu trúc too là: Too + adj + to do sth: quá…. đến nỗi không thể làm gì.
Ngoài ra, trong chương trình học Tiếng Anh phổ thông cũng có rất nhiều bài nói về cấu trúc so sánh của
tính từ và trạng từ nên đây cũng là mảng kiến thức trọng tâm trong các câu hỏi trắc nghiệm điền từ. Người
ra đề có thể bỏ bớt 1 thành tố trong câu trúc so sánh như “than, as” hoặc đưa ra những dạng so sánh hơn
kém khác nhau của cùng một tính từ/ trạng từ và yêu cầu học sinh lựa chọn.
Ví dụ: When receiving the exam result, she seemed _____ than his sister.
A. more happy B. happier C. the more happy D. the happiest
Rõ ràng câu trên cần chọn B. happier để điền vào chỗ trống vì câu này so sánh hơn tính từ happy (do có
than). Ta không dùng more happy vì tính từ này kết thúc bằng chữ “y”.
Cấp độ mệnh đề và câu
Phổ biến nhất về cấp độ này là các câu hỏi về sự hòa hợp giữa chủ ngữ và động từ (subject – verb
concord). Để làm tốt câu hỏi dạng này, các em cần phân biệt danh từ đếm được và danh từ không đếm
được; danh từ số ít và danh từ số nhiều để chia động từ/ trợ động từ cho đúng. Các em cần lưu ý có rất
nhiều từ kết thúc là –s nhưng vẫn là danh từ số ít (ví dụ như series) hay có những danh từ không kết thúc
bằng –s mà vẫn là danh từ số nhiều như men (đàn ông), women (phụ nữ), feet (bàn chân), geese (con
ngỗng), teeth (răng), lice (con rận), mice (con chuột). Ngoài ra còn có một số danh từ có thể dùng ở cả
dạng số ít và số nhiều như: fish (cá), carp (cá chép), cod (cá thu), squid (cá mực), trout (cá trầu), turbot
(cá bơn), salmon (cá hồi), mackerel (cá thu), pike (cá chó), plaice (cá bơn sao), deer (con nai), sheep (con
cừu).
Có một số từ/ cụm từ luôn luôn đi với danh từ đếm được (như few, a few, many…) trong khi một số từ chỉ
bổ nghĩa cho danh từ không đếm được như (little, a little, much…).
Ví dụ: We have cut down _____ trees that there are now vast areas of wasteland all over the world.
A. so much B. so many C. so few D. so little
Vì danh từ đi sau (trees) là danh từ đếm được số nhiều nên chỉ có thể điền phương án B hoặc C. Dựa vào ý
nghĩa của câu (vế sau) thì ta phải chọn B. (Chúng ta đã chặt nhiều cây xanh đến nỗi ngày nay có nhiều khu
đất hoang rộng lớn trên toàn thế giới).
Mặt khác, việc xác định sự tương ứng về số giữa chủ ngữ và động từ cũng giúp ta chọn được đáp án chính
xác từ những phương án có nội dung tương tự nhau.
Hãy xem ví dụ sau đây:
75% of the world’s _____ is in English.
A. mail B. parcels C. envelopes D. letters
Ngoài kiến thức thực tế, học sinh cũng có thể phân tích ngữ pháp của câu để chọn từ điền vào chỗ trống.
Ta thấy rằng động từ to be được chia ở dạng số ít là “is” nên chủ ngữ chắc chắn là số ít hoặc không đếm
được. Các phương án B, C, D đều ở dạng số nhiều nên danh từ không đếm được, mail chính là đáp án.
Cuối cùng tôi xin lưu ý các em là khi làm bài dạng chọn từ điền vào chỗ trống trong đoạn văn, các em nên
đọc kỹ toàn bài và hiểu được mối quan hệ giữa các thông tin trước và sau chỗ trống. Đôi khi, đáp án lại có
ngay trong chính đoạn văn các em đang đọc!

Cấp độ cụm từ
Khi học bài trên lớp, học sinh thường không chú ý nhiều đến các cụm từ cố định. Hầu như học sinh mới
chỉ dừng lại ở việc hiểu nghĩa của các cụm từ đó nhưng như vậy là chưa đủ. Các bài điền từ thường nhằm
vào những cụm từ trên, bỏ trống một thành phần và yêu cầu học sinh chọn từ điền vào. Các phương án
đưa ra thường không khác nhau về chức năng/ ngữ nghĩa nhưng chỉ có một phương án kết hợp được với
các thành tố xung quanh và là đáp án đúng.
Ví dụ: Her parents wanted her to go to university but I know that she was really fed ____(2)____ with
studying.
(2) A. on B. in C. up D. down
Trong 4 giới từ trên chỉ có up là đáp án đúng vì khi kết hợp với từ đứng trước và từ đi sau thì nó tạo thành
Chính vì vậy, trong quá trình học tập các em cần lưu ý học thuộc những cụm từ xuất hiện cố định như:
• To be fond of sth = to be keen on sth: yêu thích cái gì
• To be interested in sth: thích thú, quan tâm cái gì
• To be good at sth: giỏi về lĩnh vực gì, giỏi làm gì
• To be surprised at sth: ngạc nhiên vì điều gì…
• To be fed up with sth: chán điều gì
• To be bored with sth: chán làm gì
• To be tired of sth: mệt mỏi vì điều gì
• To be afraid of sth: sợ, e ngại điều gì
Ngoài ra, các câu hỏi cũng hay tập trung vào những cụm động tân cố định hoặc những cụm động ngữ
(phrasal verbs)
Cấp độ cấu trúc
Người ra đề có thể bỏ bớt một từ trong các cấu trúc học sinh đã được học trong sách giáo khoa và đưa ra 4
phương án lựa chọn. Khi làm các câu hỏi này, các em cần lưu ý phân biệt rõ các từ và đặt nó vào bối cảnh
cụ thể trong câu vì các lựa chọn đưa ra hầu hết đều có cùng ý nghĩa với nhau nhưng chỉ có một từ có thể
điền vào chỗ trống để tạo thành cấu trúc đúng.
Ví dụ: It really takes you years to get to know someone well _____ to consider your best friend.
Trong câu trên, chỉ có enough có thể được điền vào chỗ trống để tạo thành cấu trúc có nghĩa là V + Adv +
enough + to do sth. Trong khi đó, such và so thường đi kèm với mệnh đề phía sau. Too cũng có cấu trúc
gần giống enough nhưng khác về vị trí và ý nghĩa.
Hãy xem ví dụ sau:

The coffee is too hot to drink.
(Cà phê nóng quá nên không thể uống được).
Như vậy, cấu trúc too là: Too + adj + to do sth: quá…. đến nỗi không thể làm gì.
Ngoài ra, trong chương trình học Tiếng Anh phổ thông cũng có rất nhiều bài nói về cấu trúc so sánh của
tính từ và trạng từ nên đây cũng là mảng kiến thức trọng tâm trong các câu hỏi trắc nghiệm điền từ. Người
ra đề có thể bỏ bớt 1 thành tố trong câu trúc so sánh như “than, as” hoặc đưa ra những dạng so sánh hơn
Ví dụ: When receiving the exam result, she seemed _____ than his sister.
A. more happy B. happier C. the more happy D. the happiest
Rõ ràng câu trên cần chọn B. happier để điền vào chỗ trống vì câu này so sánh hơn tính từ happy (do có
than). Ta không dùng more happy vì tính từ này kết thúc bằng chữ “y”.
Cấp độ mệnh đề và câu
Phổ biến nhất về cấp độ này là các câu hỏi về sự hòa hợp giữa chủ ngữ và động từ (subject – verb
concord). Để làm tốt câu hỏi dạng này, các em cần phân biệt danh từ đếm được và danh từ không đếm
được; danh từ số ít và danh từ số nhiều để chia động từ/ trợ động từ cho đúng. Các em cần lưu ý có rất
bằng –s mà vẫn là danh từ số nhiều như men (đàn ông), women (phụ nữ), feet (bàn chân), geese (con
dạng số ít và số nhiều như: fish (cá), carp (cá chép), cod (cá thu), squid (cá mực), trout (cá trầu), turbot
(cá bơn), salmon (cá hồi), mackerel (cá thu), pike (cá chó), plaice (cá bơn sao), deer (con nai), sheep (con
cừu).
Có một số từ/ cụm từ luôn luôn đi với danh từ đếm được (như few, a few, many…) trong khi một số từ chỉ
bổ nghĩa cho danh từ không đếm được như (little, a little, much…).
Ví dụ: We have cut down _____ trees that there are now vast areas of wasteland all over the world.
Vì danh từ đi sau (trees) là danh từ đếm được số nhiều nên chỉ có thể điền phương án B hoặc C. Dựa vào ý
nghĩa của câu (vế sau) thì ta phải chọn B. (Chúng ta đã chặt nhiều cây xanh đến nỗi ngày nay có nhiều khu
đất hoang rộng lớn trên toàn thế giới).
Mặt khác, việc xác định sự tương ứng về số giữa chủ ngữ và động từ cũng giúp ta chọn được đáp án chính
xác từ những phương án có nội dung tương tự nhau.
Hãy xem ví dụ sau đây:
75% of the world’s _____ is in English.
Ngoài kiến thức thực tế, học sinh cũng có thể phân tích ngữ pháp của câu để chọn từ điền vào chỗ trống.
Ta thấy rằng động từ to be được chia ở dạng số ít là “is” nên chủ ngữ chắc chắn là số ít hoặc không đếm
được. Các phương án B, C, D đều ở dạng số nhiều nên danh từ không đếm được, mail chính là đáp án.
Cuối cùng tôi xin lưu ý các em là khi làm bài dạng chọn từ điền vào chỗ trống trong đoạn văn, các em nên
đọc kỹ toàn bài và hiểu được mối quan hệ giữa các thông tin trước và sau chỗ trống. Đôi khi, đáp án lại có
ngay trong chính đoạn văn các em đang đọc!

Khóa học LTðH môn Tiếng Anh – Giáo viên: Vũ Thị Mai Phương Các loại mệnh ñề (Phần 1)
CÁC LOẠI MỆNH ðỀ (PHẦN 1)

* ðỊNH NGHĨA:
Mệnh ñề có 3 ñịnh nghĩa như sau:
1. A clause is a sentence that is part of a larger sentence: Mệnh ñề là một câu mà nó là thành phần của
một câu lớn hơn (dài hơn).
2. A clause is a sentence that does not make complete sense by itself: Mệnh ñề là một câu mà tự nó
không tạo thành một ý nghĩa ñầy ñủ.
3. A clause is a group of words that forms part of a sentence and contains a finite verb: Mệnh ñề là một
nhóm chữ tạo thành thành phần của một câu và trong ñó có một ñộng từ giới hạn ( là ñộng từ có chia thì).
* PHÂN LOẠI MỆNH ðỀ:

Tùy theo nghĩa của nó mà một mệnh ñề có thể là :
- Mệnh ñề chính (principal clause or main clause)
- Mệnh ñề phụ : (subordinate clause or dependent clause)
+ Mệnh ñề chính là mệnh ñề mà nó có thể ñứng riêng một mình và tự nó tạo thành một ý nghĩa ñầy ñủ
+ Mệnh ñề phụ là mệnh ñề mà nó không thể ñứng riêng môt mình và ý nghĩa của nó phụ thuộc vào mệnh
ñề chính
* CÁC LOẠI MỆNH ðỀ PHỤ:

Có 3 loại mệnh ñề phụ :
1. Mệnh ñề danh từ (Noun clause)
2. Mệnh ñề tính từ (Adjective clause)
3. Mệnh ñề trạng từ (Adverb clause)
I. MỆNH ðỀ DANH TỪ
ðịnh nghĩa:
- Mệnh ñề danh từ là mệnh ñề ñược dùng giống như một danh từ
-Mệnh ñề danh từ là mệnh ñề làm công việc của một danh từ, nó nói về người tác ñộng hay người tiếp
nhận
Các bạn có thể hiểu nôm na là danh từ làm nhiệm vụ gì trong câu thì mệnh ñề danh từ cũng có thể làm
nhiệm vụ ñó
Ex: - The work is done. (danh từ work làm chủ từ )
- What is done is done (mệnh ñề danh từ what is done cũng làm chủ từ )
- I don't know the reason ( danh từ reason làm túc từ)
- I don't know why he came here ( mệnh ñề danh từ : why he came here cũng làm túc từ )
- This is my motherland (danh từ motherland làm compliment )
- This is where I was born (mệnh ñề danh từ where I was born cũng làm complement )
II. MỆNH ðỀ TÍNH NGỮ (Các em xem lại Tài liệu bài giảng của bài 1 chuyên ñề 4: Mệnh ñề quan hệ
và cách kết hợp câu có cùng chủ ngữ)
III. MỆNH ðỀ TRẠNG TỪ

ðịnh nghĩa:
- Mệnh ñề trạng từ là mệnh ñề ñược dùng giống như trạng từ
- Mệnh ñề trạng từ là mệnh ñề làm công việc của một trạng từ ,nó cho biết "như thế nào" ,"ở ñâu".hay" khi
nào" một hành ñộng diễn ra
- Mệnh ñề trạng từ phân ra làm 10 loại :
+ Mệnh ñề trạng từ chỉ thời gian
+ Mệnh ñề trạng từ chỉ nơi chốn
+ Mệnh ñề trạng từ chỉ cách thức
+ Mệnh ñề trạng từ chỉ lý do
+ Mệnh ñề trạng từ chỉ ñiều kiện
+ Mệnh ñề trạng từ chỉ sự nhượng bộ
+ Mệnh ñề trạng từ chỉ mục ñích
+ Mệnh ñề trạng từ chỉ kết quả
+ Mệnh ñề trạng từ chỉ sự so sánh
+ Mệnh ñề trạng từ chỉ ñiều kiện [/b]
- Ngoài ra còn 2 loại mệnh ñề sau cũng ñược xếp vào loại mệnh ñề trạng từ :
+ Mệnh ñề giới hạn
+ Mệnh ñề trạng từ rút gọn
Do ñây là là loại mệnh ñề phức tạp nhất nên tôi sẽ ñi sâu vào chi tiết từng loại :
1. Mệnh ñề trạng từ chỉ thời gian

Những mệnh ñề này thường trả lời câu nói với when và có thể ñược giới thiệu bởi những liên từ sau:
when, after, as, as long as, as soon as, before, by the time, directly, during, the time (that)
immediately,the moment (that),now (that),once,since,until/ till,whenever,và while. Chúng ta thường sử
dụng dấu phẩy khi mệnh ñề trạng từ ñi trước.
Ex: I ran away when I saw the dog.
When I saw the dog,I ran away.
Lưu ý: Không sử dụng will sau những liên từ chỉ thời gian
Trong trường hợp này ta phải dùng thì hiện tại ñơn thế cho thì tương lai ñơn, và thì hiện tại hoàn thành thế
cho thì tương lai hoàn thành
Ex: - When I will meet him, I will tell him about that. (sai)
When I meet him ,I will tell him about that. (ñúng) - meet là thì hiện tại ñơn thế cho: will meet là thì
tương lai ñơn
- Once we will have decorated the house ,we can move in. (sai) - do dùng will sau once.
Once we have decorated the house, we can move in.(ñúng) - do dùng have decorated là thì hiện tại
hoàn thành thế cho thì tương lai hoàn thành
- Tuy nhiên một số người vẫn còn nhầm lẫn giữa 2 khái niệm: "không dùng will trong mệnh ñề trạng từ
chỉ thời gian" và “không dùng will trong mệnh ñề có when".
Ex: 1. I will give him the book when he will come back. (sai)
2. I want to know when he will come back. (ñúng)
Tại sao câu 1 dùng will sau when lại sai mà câu 2 dùng will sau when lại ñúng ?
Vì câu 1 mệnh ñề: when he will come back là mệnh ñề trạng từ chỉ thời gian nên dùng will là sai
Còn câu 2: when he will come back là mệnh ñề danh từ nên dùng will không sai
Do ñó khi gặp mệnh ñề có when cần xem xét ñó là mệnh ñề trạng từ hay mệnh ñề danh từ thì mới dùng
ñúng ñược.
Ex: When the trains stops (= will stop), the band will start playing.
As soon as she arrives (= will arrive) at the school, the children will begin cheering.
We won't begin until we've had (= shall have had) a full enquiry.
He said that he would give her a present before he left (= would leave) Port bridge.
2. Mệnh ñề trạng ngữ chỉ mục ñích

Mệnh ñề trạng ngữ chỉ mục ñích là mệnh ñề bổ nghĩa cho mệnh ñề chính, bằng cách xác ñịnh mục ñích
mà hành ñộng của mệnh ñề chính xảy ra.
Mệnh ñề trạng ngữ chỉ mục ñích thường ñược bắt ñầu bằng: so that; in order that (ñể mà); lest (kẻo
mà); for fear that (e rằng, sợ rằng)
Ex: She is studing hard main clause so that she can pass the next exam sub clause
We left the house early lest we would muss the first train
We tiptoed in order that we wouldn't make the baby up (Chúng tôi ñi rón rén/ñi nhón gót ñể mà không làm
ñứa trẻ thức giấc)
toe(n): ngón chân, tip (n): ñầu mút
Lưu ý: ðể diễn tả chỉ mục ñích chúng ta còn có thể sử dụng các từ hoặc cụm từ sau:
a. in order for SO/ST to do ST: ñể cho ai/ cái gì làm gì
Ex: In order for a film to be interesting, it must have a good plot
(ðể cho 1 bộ phim hay thì bộ phim ñó phải có cốt truyện hay)
In order for your child to be respectful, you must educate him very early
be respectful: lễ phép
b. for + N/Ving
Ex: She went to market for some eggs
- Go to market/school/church/pagoda ~ có nghĩa ñi với mục ñích chính của danh từ ñó, tức là ñến trường
ñể học, ñi thắp hương ở chùa chiền, ñến nhà thờ ñể làm lễ..
Nếu "Go to the school / the church / the pagoda..." thì không có nghĩa với mục ñích chính "ñến trường
không phải học, ñến nhà thờ không fải làm lễ, .."
c. to
so as to + bare inf ñể làm gì
in order to
Ex: She is studying hard to/so as to/ in order to be able to pass the next exam.
Hình thức phủ ñịnh:

so as not to + bare inf
in order not to + bare inf
Ex: We left the house early so as not to miss the first train.
d. with a view toprep (not) V-ing ~ ñể (ñừng) làm gì

Ex: We left the house early with a view to not missing the first train.
She is studying hard with a view to being able to pass the next exam.
3. Mệnh ñề trạng ngữ chỉ kết quả

Mệnh ñề trạng ngữ chỉ kết quả ñược bắt ñầu bằng so (vì vậy), so... that, such....... that (quá ... ñến nổi)
Ex: She had studied hard so she pass the exam successfully.

Ex: - She is so kind that everyone loves her.
She is so kind a person that everyone loves her.
- He swam so strongly that he won the first prize.

e. Sub + Verb + so + much/little + uncountable noun + that + clause

Ex: - My mother has so little free time that she never watches TV at night
- They spent so much money that they got broke (Be/ get broke: túng quẫn, khánh kiệt)

Ex: They had such nice memories that they decided to come back there. (memory (n): kỷ niệm, trí nhớ)
- It was such good news that she jumped with joy
- Lưu ý:
1. Ta có thể bỏ “that” ở cả 6 cấu trúc trên mà không ảnh hưởng ñến nghĩa và cấu trúc của chúng
2. Hình thức ñảo ngữ ñể nhấn mạnh nghĩa của cấu trúc a.
“Sub + verb + so + adj/adv + that + clause” là:
So + adj/adv + be + sub + X + that + clause
Such auxiliary verb bare inf
Ex: - She is so kind that everyone loves her
So kind is she that everyone loves her.
Such
- He swam so strongly that he won the first prize.

4. Mệnh ñề trạng ngữ chỉ nguyên nhân

Mệnh ñề trạng ngữ chỉ lý do/nguyên nhân là mệnh ñề bổ nghĩa cho mệnh ñề chính bằng cách xác ñịnh lý
do/nguyên nhân mà hành ñộng của mệnh ñề chính ñược thực hiện.
Mệnh ñề trạng ngữ chỉ lý do thường ñược bắt ñầu bằng các một trong các liên từ sau ñây: because, for,
since, as, inasmuch as, now that (ñều có nghĩa là “bởi vì”)
(Trong trường hợp mệnh ñề trạng ngữ chỉ lý do thì as mang nghĩa là “Bởi vì”. Trong trường hợp mệnh ñề
chỉ thời gian thì as có nghĩa là “Khi”)
- Lưu ý 1:
a. Liên từ chỉ lý do/nguyên nhân "for" thường không ñứng ñầu câu
Ex: They cancelled the match for it rained heavily
Because she is old, she retires (về hưu)
Now that my mother has been away, I am cooking by myself. (be away: ñi xa)
b. Câu có chứa mệnh ñề trạng ngữ chỉ lý do sẽ không thay ñổi về mặt ngữ nghĩa khi ta bỏ liên từ chỉ
lý do (because, for, since, as, inasmuch as, now that) ở mệnh ñề này và thêm liên từ chỉ kết
quả (so) vào trước mệnh ñề kia.
Ex: It rained heavily so they cancelled the match.
She is old so she retires.

Due to (thường dùng với nghĩa xấu )
Owing to
By virtue of
Ex: - By dint of working hard, he earns much money

Ex: - Because her child is ill, she stays at home.
- Because of her child's illness, she stays at home.
c. Nếu 2 mệnh ñề khác chủ ngữ và ñộng từ chính là ñộng từ thường, ta biến ñộng từ ñó thành danh
từ

- Because of the heavy rain, they cancelled the match.
BT: ðổi giới từ (Prep) thành liên từ (Conj)

1. By dint of working hard, he earns much money (TH1)

Since he works hard, he earns much money
2. Due to the snow, the trains couldn't run. (TH2)
So it snowed, the trains couldn't run

* Khi ta thêm “the fact that” vào sau các giới từ: because of, on account of, by dint of, due to, owing
to, by wirtue of…thì chúng có thể ñược sử dụng giống như các liên từ, tức là theo sau nó là mệnh ñề.
- Lưu ý 3:
HÌNH THỨC ðẢO NGỮ ðỂ NHẤN MẠNH NGHĨA CỦA MỆNH ðỀ TRẠNG NGỮ CHỈ LÝ DO
Adj/Adv + as + sub + verb + main clause

5. Mệnh ñề trạng ngữ chỉ sự nhượng bộ

Mệnh ñề trạng ngữ chỉ quan hệ tương phản/nhượng bộ là mệnh ñề ñể bổ nghĩa cho mệnh ñề chính bằng
cách xác ñịnh quan hệ tương phản/nhượng bộ ñối với mệnh ñề chính.
Những mệnh ñề này ñược bắt ñầu bằng:
Nhóm 1: Although; Though; Even though (mặc dù)
Nhóm 2: While (trong khi); Meanwhile; Whereas (trong khi ñó)
Nhóm 3: However; Whatever; Whoever; Wherever (cho dù như thế nào, cho dù cái gì, cho dù ai, cho
dù ñâu...)

ñề kia.
Ex: He is old but he is very active.
c. ðể diễn tả quan hệ tương phản ta còn có thể sử dụng các giới từ sau ñây:
Despite
In spite of + Noun/V-ing bất chấp/mặc dù

In spite of her kindness, he doesn't like to work with her
3. They are playing football though it rains heavily
Despite the heavy rain, they are playing football
* Khi ta thêm "the fact that" vào sau các giới từ trên thì chúng ñược sử dụng như các liên từ
Ex: Although her little son is going to school for the first time tomorrow she is very calm
(calm (a): bình tĩnh)
In spite of the fact that her little son is going to school for the first time tomorrow, she is very calm.
d. Hình thức ñảo ngữ ñể nhấn mạnh nghĩa của mệnh ñề trạng ngữ chỉ quan hệ tương phản bắt ñầu
bằng Although, Though, Even though
Adv/Adj + as/though + sub + verb + main clause
Ex: Although he is old, he is very active
Old as he is, he is very active
“as” có 2 nghĩa là “mặc dù” và “bởi vì”. Khi dùng thì chú ý vào nghĩa của mệnh ñề chính ñể dịch cho
phù hợp.
Ex: They are playing football though it rains heavily
They are playing football heavily as/though it rains.

6. Mệnh ñề trạng ngữ chỉ cách thức

Mệnh ñề trạng ngữ chỉ thể cách là mệnh ñề bổ nghĩa cho mệnh ñề chính bằng cách xác ñịnh cách thức mà
hành ñộng của mệnh ñề chính ñược thực hiện.
Mệnh ñề trạng ngữ chỉ thể cách thường ñược bắt ñầu bằng: as (như là), as if, as though (dường như)
Ex: You should make the cakes as I have instructed you.
- Lưu ý:
1. Phân biệt giữa “as” và “like”
a. As là liên từ nên: As + Clause (như là)
b. Like là giới từ nên: Like + Noun/V-ing (giống như) ≠ Unlike (không giống như)
Ex: - Like many boys, she is fond of football (be fond of: yêu thích)
- Unlike cows, tigers eat meat
- As you have known, she lives next door to me (next door to: ngay bên cạnh, sát vách)
2. Cách dùng “As if/As though” (dường như)

a. Khi mệnh ñề sau “As if” diễn tả một giả thiết có thể xảy ra trong thực tế, thì của mệnh ñề ñó sẽ ñược
hòa hợp theo các nguyên tắc thông thường.
Ex: It is cloudy. It looks as if it .
a. is rainning c. is going to rain
b. will rain d. all are correct
b. Khi mệnh ñề sau “As if” diễn tả trái với thực tế ở:

Hiện tại: Thì của mệnh ñề ñó sẽ ñược chia ở quá khứ giả ñịnh (bàng thái cách)- Past subjunctive có
hình thức giống thì quá khứ ñơn nhưng nếu ñộng từ là “be” thì ta phải dùng “were” cho tất cả các ngôi
Ex: - His mother is crying as if she were a baby (mẹ của anh ấy ñang khóc như con nít)
- She often sings along us as though she could sing well (theo ý tác giả là cô ấy hát không hay)
Quá khứ: Thì của mệnh ñề ñó ñược chia ở quá khứ hoàn thành
Ex: -Yesterday, his mother cried as if she had been a baby
- Last night she ran as though a ghost had chased her.
Tương lai: ðộng từ của mệnh ñề ñứng sau sẽ ñược chia ở cấu trúc Would + bare inf
Ex: He often acts as if he would be the Prime Minister.

Khóa học LTĐH môn Tiếng Anh – Giáo viên: Vũ Thị Mai Phương Phương pháp làm bài tập đọc hiểu
PHƯƠNG PHÁP LÀM BÀI TẬP ĐỌC HIỂU

Bài đọc hiểu của đề thi tốt nghiệp THPT có độ dài khoảng 200 từ, với 5 câu hỏi. Thời gian làm bài là
khoảng 5 phút.
Với những loại văn bản có nội dung, độ dài, độ khó khác nhau, với mục đích đọc khác nhau thì kỹ thuật
làm bài đọc hiểu cũng khác nhau. Đối với bài đọc hiểu trong đề thi tốt nghiệp THPT, các em cần chú ý:
1. Mục đích đọc là tìm thông tin để trả lời các câu hỏi cho trước, không phải là để học từ vựng, ngữ
pháp, lại càng không phải là để hiểu hết tất cả các thông tin mà bài cung cấp
2. Thí sinh phải làm bài trong điều kiện sức ép thời gian và không được sử dụng phương tiện hỗ trợ
3. Nội dung thuộc một chủ đề quen thuộc nhưng bài có từ mới
4. Bài đọc ngắn. Số lượng câu hỏi không quá nhiều.(5 câu hỏi)
Với đặc điểm này, các em hãy luyện tập và làm bài theo các bước như sau:
Dưới đây là 5 câu hỏi được sử dụng cho bài đọc hiểu trong đề thi tốt nghiệp THPT năm 2010.
Các em hãy đọc nhanh các câu hỏi và đáp án cho sẵn, đồng thời trả lời các câu hỏi sau:
1. Câu hỏi nào yêu cầu 1 thông tin chi tiết, cụ thể và chính xác
2. Câu hỏi nào yêu cầu người đọc phải đọc, tổng hợp thông tin và suy luận câu trả lời.
3. Câu hỏi nào yêu cầu đọc và tìm nội dung chính của bài
4. Câu hỏi nào yêu cầu tìm nghĩa của từ trong ngữ cảnh.
Các em có 30 giây đến 1 phút để thực hiện bước này. Trong bước này, các em chỉ tập trung vào phân tích
câu hỏi, không cần chú ý đến các đáp án đã cho.
Câu 1: ______ visit California’s national parks every year.

Câu 2: California is divided into ______.
Câu 3: What is Silicon Valley well known for?
Câu 4: Which of the following is NOT in Southern California?
Câu 5: Where are the desert areas found?
Trong 5 câu hỏi trên, 4 câu hỏi (câu 1.2.3 và 5) yêu cầu người đọc tìm thông tin chi tiết để trả lời câu hỏi.
Đối với dạng câu hỏi này, các em đọc nhanh từ đầu bài và tìm các từ khóa, chỉ rõ vị trí thông tin mình cần
tìm, dừng lại ở vị trí có thông tin cần tìm, đọc kỹ câu và trả lời từng câu hỏi một.
Câu 4 có thể là một câu hỏi thông tin chi tiết, nhưng cũng có thể là câu hỏi yêu cầu người đọc phải tổng
hợp thông tin vì nó yêu cầu người đọc xác định cái gì không có ở Southern California, chứ không phải cái
có ở đó.
Với dạng câu hỏi tổng hợp thông tin và suy luận, các em phải tìm thông tin ở những phần khác nhau và
kết hợp lại thì mới trả lời được câu hỏi.
Bây giờ,các em đọc bài và trả lời câu hỏi. các từ khóa giúp xác định vị trí thông tin, chính là tên địa danh
được nêu. Các em có thể dùng bút chì để gạch dưới các thông tin được dùng để trả lời mỗi câu hỏi. Các
em có 2-3 phút để làm phần này.

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 56 to 65.
For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming back to an
empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have
something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called “latchkey children”. They are
children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a
subject of concern.
Lynette Long was once the principal of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule against
wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly telling
them to put the keys inside shirts. There were so many keys; it never came to my mind what they meant.”
Slowly, she learned that they were house keys.
She and her husband began talking to the children who had keys. They learned of the effect working
couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear was the biggest problem faced by children
at home alone. One in three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being frightened. Many had
nightmares and were worried about their own safety.
The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. They may hide in a shower
stall, under a bed or in a closet. The second is TV. They often turn the volume up. It’s hard to get statistics
on latchkey children, the Longs have learned. Most parents are slow to admit that they leave their children
alone.

A. close doors with keys and watch TV by themselves
B. like to carry latches and keys with them everywhere
C. are locked inside houses with latches and keys
D. look after themselves while their parents are not at home
Question 4: The main problem of latchkey children is that they ______.
A. are also found in middle-class families

Bài 1: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer for
each of the questions.
A WALK IN THE MIDDLE SUN
(When the heat is on, walkers need to be on their guard)
Hot weather makes your heart pump harder, and you are not very fir, you start to understand why
the majority of mountain rescue statistics are made up from summer walkers suffering heart attacks. Heat
exhaustion is quite east to get when you are making a great physical effort. It happens where your body
can’t produce enough sweat to keep you cool.
The answer is to keep up your water intake. It’s good idea to drink a pint of water for every 10
degrees Fahrenheit every hour. So, if the temperature is in the 70s, and you are doing a five hour walk,
you will need a minimum of around one and a half pints of water. It is vital that you don’t wait until you
develop a raging thirst before you stop for a drink-keep taking regular swigs from your water bottle.
Many walkers flavor their eater with fruit juice, which makes it a lot more palatable. You could
even use one of the isotonic drink made for athletes, which replace the body’s salts lost through swearing.
Powders such as Dioralyte, which you may have in the house as a treatment for diarrhea, will do the job
just as well, as its main aim is also effective rehydration.
Given that evaporation is your body’s cooling mechanism, you can help things along with an
external application of water. Soaking your hat with water id a great way to cool the head, though if the
sun id beating down, it will probably dry of almost immediately. Better still then if you can plunge into a
river or the sea fully-clothed. And if that’s not possible, then at least take off your boots and socks and
paddle in a cool stream.
Walking in the heat increases the rate at which you feet swell, which can lead to them feeling tight
in your boots. Cool water from a stream reduce any swelling and helps general foot comfort. At the same
time, you can check out your feet for signs of blister. Extra sweating makes the skin softer and increases
the chance of blisters forming, in the same way as when water leaks into your boots and gets to your feet.
As for what clothing you wear, this should be lightweight and reasonably loose-fitting. Tight
clothing will feel comfortable and may even lead to the formation of irritating rash known as “prickly
heat” on your skin. The answer, if this does develop, is to try and stay cool as much as possible. Do this by
either keeping in the shade, or washing the affected area with cold water, but with soap. But prevention is
by far the best approach, so keep your clothing light.
It’s understandable to want to remover any extraneous clothing when it’s extremely hot, but it
doesn’t really make much sense to take off T-shirts. The sun’s rays can be quite strong, and shoulders are
always very sensitive to sunburn. This is the worst place to be red and sore when you are wearing a heavy
rucksack on your back. Wearing shorts can also create problems for walkers, as the backs of the legs can
catch the sun very easily.
In fact, those days when an apparently harmless breeze is blowing can be the most deceptive. It
might not felt so hot, so you probably wont’ notice the damage being done so soon. As on every other day
then, a good strong sun cream should therefore be applied to any skin which is exposed. Make the most of
the summer, but treat the sun with the respect it deservers.
Question 1: The writer says that hot weather ________.

A. is the main cause of heart attacks.
B. Requires walkers to have frequent drinks.
C. Is the worst type of weather for mountain walking.
D. Ensures that mountain walkers stay fit.
Question 2: What does the writer say about ‘Dioralyte’?

A. the sun B. your hat C. the head D. water
Question 4: According to the text, when might your feet suffer?
A. when they cool down
B. if you are wearing tightly-fitting boots
C. when they are wet.
D. If you have to walk through water.
Question 5: According to the writer, it is better to wear loose-fitting clothing because ________.
A. it keeps you cool.
B. it is very light.
C. It is less likely to create problems for your skin.
D. It lasts longer than tight-fitting clothing.
Question 6: What does the writer mean by “extraneous” clothing?
A. clothing which is no longer needed to keep you warm
B. clothing which most people would consider unusual in hot weather
C. clothing which is too tight

B. walkers who are unfit
C. people who go walking in hot weather
D. people who only go walking in summer
Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the
natural environment surrounding their homes. This method of harvesting from nature’s provision is the
oldest known subsistence strategy and has been practiced for at least the last two million years. It was,
indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of wild animals were
introduced about 10,000 years ago.
Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their
numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments, such as deserts and
arctic wastelands. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability of plant
life. Such conditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting, and on fishing along the coasts and
waterways. The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has
provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants. In short, the environment differences have
restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies.
Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know from
the observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and
gathering must be very mobile. While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party
harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp. When the food in the area has become
exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also notice seasonal migration patterns
evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between the sexes. These patterns
of behavior may be similar to those practiced by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.
Question 1: The word “domestication” in the first paragraph mostly means ______.
A. adapting animals to suit a new working environment
B. hatching and raising a new species of wild animals in the home
C. teaching animals to do a particular job or activity in the home
D. making wild animals used to living with and working for humans
Question 2: According to the passage, subsistence societies depend mainly on ______.
A. hunter-gatherers’ tools B. nature’s provision
C. farming methods D. agricultural products
Question 3: The word “marginal” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. disadvantaged B. suburban C. forgotten D. abandoned
Question 4: In the lower latitudes of the tropics, hunter-gatherers ______.
A. can free themselves from hunting
B. have better food gathering from nature
C. live along the coasts and waterways for fishing
D. harvest shorter seasonal crops
Question 5: According to the passage, studies of contemporary subsistence societies can provide a
______.
A. further understanding of prehistoric times
B. broader vision of prehistoric natural environments
C. further understanding of modern subsistence societies
D. deeper insight into the dry-land farming
Question 6: The word “conditions” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. the places where plenty of animals and fish can be found
B. the situation in which hunter-gatherers can grow some crops
C. the environments where it is not favorable for vegetation to grow
D. the situations in which hunter-gatherers hardly find anything to eat
Question 7: A typical feature of both modern and prehistoric hunter-gatherers is that ______.
A. they live in the forests for all their life
B. they don’t have a health and balanced diet

C. they don’t have a strong sense of community
D. they often change their living places
Question 8: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned?
A. Harvesting from the natural environment had existed long before farming was taken up.
B. The environment differences produce no effect on subsistence societies.
C. The number of hunter-gatherers decreases where farming is convenient.
D. Hunting or fishing develops where there are no or short growing seasons.
Question 9: According to the author, most contemporary and prehistoric hunter-gatherers share ______.
A. some methods of production B. some patterns of behavior
C. some restricted daily rules D. only the way of duty division
Question 10: Which of the following would serve as the best title of the passage?
A. Hunter-gatherers and Subsistence Societies
B. Evolution of Human’s Farming Methods
C. A Brief History of Subsistence Farming
D. Hunter-gatherers: Always on the Move
Bài 3: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer for each of the questions.
PLANET EARTH
The planet Earth is 4,600 million years old. It is difficult for us to think about such an enormous
length of time because it has little meaning for us. We can, however, simplify the idea to make it more
understandable. We can compare a Planet Earth to a person of forty-six years of age.
Nothing is known about the first seven years of this person’s life. Very little information exists
about the middle period either. It was only at the age of forty-two that Earth began to flower.
Dinosaurs and great reptiles did not appear until one year ago, when the planet was forty-five.
Mammals only arrived eight months ago. In the middle of last week, man-like apes became ape-like man
and began to communicate with each other. Last weekend, the Ice Age covered the Earth.
Modern man has only been around for four hours. During the last hour man discovered agriculture.
The Industrial Revolution and the rise of large cities began just sixty seconds ago.
During that short time, modern man has made a rubbish tip of the Earth. In one minute, he has
increased his numbers to terrible proportions, and has caused the death of hundreds of species of animals.
He has robbed and destroyed the planet in his search of fuels. Now he stands, like a violent, spoilt child,
delighted at the speed of his rise to power, on the edge of the final mass destruction and of killing all the
life which exists in the solar system.
Question 1: The passage tells us that _________.
A. a great deal is known about how the Earth was created.
B. life on Earth began relatively recently.
C. more is known about the first part of the Earth’s life than the middle part.
D. Scientists are well-informed about the middle part of the Earth’s life.
Question 2: We are informed by the author that ________.
A. the dinosaurs appeared during the middle period.
B. mammals and great reptiles both appeared at the same time.
C. there were more than forty-five kind of great reptiles.
D. ape-like men appeared before the last Ice Age.
Question 3: The author is mainly interested in __________.

A. the time when the man first evolved from apes.
B. what has happened since the Industrial Revolution.
C. the effects of farming.
D. the period before the last Ice Age.
Question 4: It would appear that the main danger ahead is that _________.
A. man will destroy everything on Earth.
B. man will use up all the fuels.
C. there will be a population explosion.
D. more species of animals may die out.
Question 5: The author’s general view of man seems to be that _________.
A. he has no right to be so destructive.
B. he has been the most successful animal.
C. he will be able to control the environment.
D. he has learnt a lot from past mistakes.
Bài 4: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or on your answer sheet to indicate the
Probably the most famous film commenting on the twentieth-century technology is Modern Times,
made in 1936. Charlie Chaplin was motivated to make the film by a reporter who, while interviewing him,
happened to describe the working conditions in industrial Detroit. Chaplin was told that healthy young
farm boys were lured to the city to work on automotive assembly lines. Within four or five years, these
young men’s health was destroyed by the stress of work in the factories.
The film opens with a shot of a mass of sheep making their way down a crowded ramp. Abruptly,
the film shifts to a scene of factory workers jostling one another on their way to a factory. However, the
rather bitter note of criticism in the implied comparison is not sustained. It is replaced by a gentle note of
satire. Chaplin prefers to entertain rather than lecture.
Scenes of factory interiors account for only about one-third of Modern Times, but they contain
some of the most pointed social commentary as well as the most comic situations. No one who has seen
the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly trying to keep pace with the fast-moving conveyor belt, almost
losing his mind in the process. Another popular scene involves an automatic feeding machine brought to
the assembly line so that workers need to interrupt their labor to eat. The feeding machine malfunctions,
hurling food at Chaplin, who is strapped in his position on the assembly line and cannot escape. This
serves to illustrate people’s utter helplessness in the face of machines that are meant to serve their basic
needs.
Clearly, Modern Times has its faults, but it remains the best film treating technology within a
social context. It does not offer a radical social message, but it does accurately reflect the sentiment of
many who feel they are victims of an over-mechanized world.
Question 1: According to the passage, Chaplin got the idea for Modern Times from ______.
A. conversation B. a movie C. fieldworks D. a newspaper
Question 2: The young farm boys went to the city because they were ______.

Question 3: The phrase “jostling one another” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. running against each other
B. pushing one anther
C. hurrying up together
D. jogging side by side
Question 4: According to the passage, the opening scene of the film is intended ______.
A. to reveal the situation of the factory workers
B. to produce a tacit association
C. to introduce the main characters of the film
D. to give the setting for the entire plot later
Question 5: The word “vainly” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. effortlessly B. recklessly C. hopelessly D. carelessly
Question 6: The word “This” in the fourth paragraph refers to ______.
A. the situation of young workers in a factory
B. the scene of an assembly line in operation

B. The author does not consider Modern Times as a perfect film.
C. Modern Times depicts the over-mechanized world from a social viewpoint.
D. In Modern Times, the factory workers’ basic needs are well met.
Question 10: The passage was written to ______.
A. review one of Chaplin’s popular films
B. explain Chaplin’s style of acting

Until recently, the “science of the future” was supposed to be electronics and artificial intelligence.
Today it seems more and more likely that the next great breakthroughs in technology will brought about
through a combination of those two sciences with organic chemistry and genetic engineering. This
combination is the science of biotechnology.
Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic materials. However, it is still
difficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and also to absorb
moisture. Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere nears the combination of
strength, lightness and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects. Nevertheless, scientists in
the laboratory have already succeeded in growing a material that has many of the characteristics of human
skin. The next step may be biotech hearts and eyes which can replace diseased organs in human beings.
These will not be rejected by the body, as is the case with organs from humans.
The applications of biotechnology to energy production seems even more promising. In 1996 the
famous science – fiction writer, Arthur C. Clarke, many of whose previous predictions have come true,
said that we may soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable sources of energy. Some of
these power sources will be biological. Clarke and others have warned us repeatedly that sooner or later
we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources. Coal, oil, and gas are indeed
convenient. However, using them also means creating dangerously high levels of pollution. It will be
impossible to meet the growing demand for energy without increasing that pollution to catastrophic levels
unless we develop power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner.
It is tempting to think that biotechnology or some other ‘science of future’ can solve our problem
for us. Before we surrender to that temptation we should remember nuclear power. Only a few generations
ago it seemed to promise limitless, cheap and safe energy. Today those promises lie burred in a concrete
grave in a place call Chernobyl, in the Ukraine. Biotechnology is unlikely, however, to break its promises
in quite the same or such a dangerous way.
Question 1: According to the text, the science of the future is likely to be _____________.
A. electronics B. biotechnology
C. genetic engineering D. nuclear technology
Question 2: Organic chemistry helps to produce materials that are ______________.
A. almost as strong, light and flexible as an insect’s body
B. almost as good as wool
C. not as good as natural materials
D. stronger, lighter and better than natural materials.
Question 3: According to the text, it may soon be possible _________.
A. to make something as good as human skin
B. to cure certain diseases that damage human organs
C. to take an organ from one human and give it to another human
D. to make useful substitutes for human hearts and eyes
Question 4: In 1996, Arthur C. Clarke predicted ________.
A. new and better way of heating and lighting homes, offices and factories
B. newer and better way of using oil, gas and coal.
C. that using oil, gas and coal would lead to very high levels of pollution
D. that we may not be able to meet future demand for energy
Question 5: What does the text say is one of the worst problems caused by the use of coal, gas and oil?
A. They are no longer as easy to use as they once were.
B. They are so cheap that people waste them.
C. They are too expensive for poorer people in many parts of the world.
D. They are very bad for the world around us.
Question 6: Which of these statements do you think best summarizes what the text is about?
A. We have good reasons for hoping that biotechnology will help us to solve some but not all our
problems.
B. Since has promised to solve our problems in the past but has often created even worse problem for
us.
C. Because of biotechnology, nuclear power and other scientific achievements, the future will be much
better.
D. Despite the problems we have had with nuclear technology, it is still the best way to produce power.
VOLUNTARY SERVICE OVERSEAS VSO
VSO is a registered charity dedicated to assisting in developing countries. More specifically,
selects and places volunteers in response to overseas requests. This work makes it distinctive among other
charities and organizations in the UK. It sends people, not money, to that its services are, in effect, entirely
complementary to the efforts being made by agencies like Oxfam, Christian Aid and Save the Children
Fund with whom it often works directly.
VSO tries to respond to request from overseas which ask for volunteers. Its bias is firmly towards
the poorest members on the community and it takes great care to avoid undermining job opportunities for
local people. Both staff and volunteers also play a special attention to women’s role in development
projects. This is because women’s role in child-rearing, in education and community cohesion are
essential in any healthy process of change.
Over the past 38 years, more than 21,000 volunteers have worked abroad with VSO. There are
now over 1,900 volunteers working in 59 of the less developed countries in Africa, Asia, the Pacific and
the Caribbean.
The application of each volunteer is carefully considered in order to select and interview candidates
against each job request from the field, to seek the person with the right blend of skills and personality.
VSO, the work
VSO volunteers do not go to developing countries as visiting experts with all the answers. It is
always a process of sharing and learning. The aim is that when the volunteer returns home, there exists a
community with a stronger sense of independence and self-reliance… and a volunteer with a new
understanding and appreciation of life and people everywhere. The range of jobs required of VSO is wide-
reflecting the needs of any society in the modern world.
Question 1: VSO is different from other charities and organization from UK because it ________.
A. is a registered body.
B. sends financial aid to developing countries.
C. sends volunteers to help abroad.
D. Recruits volunteers to work in Britain.
Question 2: Requests from overseas most likely to be dealt with are those which __________.
A. specifically ask for female staff and volunteers
B. require volunteers to work with local inhabitants.
C. require help and advice for health care.
D. need help and advice for health care.

Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery
has been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive engines and was
passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that
provided power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses,
those forms have not much adaptability.
On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful voltages
that drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge
electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered
by electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten metal in a
furnace, or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee.
Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest
power in the world. It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily
and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances.
To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or
water to drive this machinery. When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without
polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal.
Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident. A tragedy
once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity. The reactor
leaked, which causes many deaths through radiation.
Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the
environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly, they hope to
trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming pools is necessary. When this
happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and
cars that burn fossil fuels.

If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a
disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one the biggest mistakes, which
ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will
fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very
supportive of their child.
Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking
him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers
twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the
trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is
unwilling.
Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful
musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be successful as they are
and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win.
Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.
Question 1: One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to ______.
A. push their child into trying to much
B. help their child to become a genius.
C. make their child become a musician.

D. neglect their child’s education.
Question 2: Parents’ ambition for their children is not wrong it they ______.
A. force their children into achieving success
B. themselves have been very successful
C. understand and help their children sensibly
D. arrange private lessons for their children
Question 3: Who have criticized the methods of some ambitious parents?

C. Their children. D. Educational psychologists.
Question 4: Michael Collins is fortunate in that ______.
A. his father is a musician
B. his parents are quite rich
C. his mother knows little about music
D. his parents help him in a sensible way
Question 5: The phrase “crazy about” in the passage mostly means ______.
A. “surprised at” B. “extremely interested in”
C. “completely unaware of” D. “confused about”

Bài 10: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer for each of the questions.
Carbohydrates, which are sugars, are an essential part of a healthy diet. They provide the main
source of energy for the body, and they also function to flavor and sweeten foods. Carbohydrates range
from simple sugars like glucose to complex sugars such as Amy lose and Amylopectin. Nutritionists
estimate that carbohydrates should make up about one-fourth to one-fifth of person’s diet. This translates
to about 75-100 grams of carbohydrates per day.
A diet that is deficient in carbohydrates can have an adverse effect on a person’s health. When the
body lacks a sufficient amount of carbohydrate, it must then use its protein supplies for energy, a process
called gluconeogenesis. However, this result in a lack of necessary protein, and further health difficulties
may occur. A lack of carbohydrates can also lead to ketosis, a build-up of ketosis in the body that causes
fatigue, lethargy, and bad breath.

Every year about two million people visit Mount Rushmore, were the faces of four U.S presidents
were carved in granite by sculptor Gutzon Borglum and his son, the late Lincoln Borglum. The creation of
the Mount Rushmore monument Line took 14 years – from 1927 to 1941 – and nearly a million dollars.
These were times when money was difficult to come by and many people were jobless. To move more
than 400,000 tons of rock, Borglum hired laid-off workers from the closed-down mines in the Black Hills
area. He taught these men to dynamite, drill, carve, and finish the granite as they were hanging in midair
in his specially devised chairs, which had many safety features. Borglum was proud of the fact that no
workers were killed or several injured during the years of blasting and carving.
During the carving, many changes in the original design had to be made to keep the carved heads
free of large fissures that were uncovered. However, not all the cracks could be avoided, so Borlgum
concocted a mixture of granite dust, white lead, and linseed oil to fill them.
Every winter, water from melting snows gets into the fissures and expand as it freezes, making the
fissures bigger. Consequently, every autumn maintenance work is done to refill the cracks. The repairers
swing out in space over a 500-foot drop and fix the monument with the same mixture that Borglum used
to preserve this national monument for future generations.
Question 1: This passage is mainly about ______.
A. the visitors to the Mount Rushmore monument
B. the faces at the Mount Rushmore monument
C. the sculptor of the Mount Rushmore monument
D. the creation of the Mount Rushmore monument

A. trained sculptors B. laid-off stone masons
C. Black Hills volunteers D. unemployed miners
Question 5: The word “devised” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become
extinct or have neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles
in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become
extinct.
What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused
almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but
personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of
extinction. Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the
world’s ecosystem. International laws protecting animals must be enacted to ensure their survival - and the
survival of our planet.
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries,
in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves. They then
charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend
on world organizations for support. This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect
the animals. Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products
made from endangered species. This has had some effect, but by itself will not prevent animals from being
hunted and killed.
Question 1: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The Bengal tiger B. International boycotts.
C. Endangered species D. Problems with industrialization
Question 2: Which of the following is closet in meaning to the word ‘alarming’ in paragraph 2?
A. dangerous B. Serious C. Gripping D. Distressing
Question 3: Which of the following could best replace the word ‘case’ as used in paragraph 2?
A. Act B. Situation C. Contrast D. Trade
Question 4: The word ‘poachers’ as used in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by which of the
following?
A. Illegal hunters B. enterprising researchers
C. Concerned scientists D. Trained hunters
Question 5: The word ‘callousness’ in paragraph 2 refer to in the passage
A. Indirectness B. Independence C. Incompetence D. Insensitivity
Question 6: What does the word ‘this’ in paragraph 2 refer to in the passage?
A. Bengal tigers
B. Interest in material gain
C. Killing animals for personal satisfaction
D. The decrease in the Bengal tiger population
Question 7: Which of the following could best replace the word ‘allocated’ in paragraph 3?
A. Set aside B. Combined C. Organized D. Taken off
Question 8: The word ‘defray’ in paragraph 3 is closet in meaning to which of the following?
A. Lower B. Raise
C. Make a payment on D. Male an investment toward

A. Buying and selling of animal products overseas.
B. A refusal to buy animal products worldwide.
C. A global increase in animal survival.
D. Defraying the cost of maintaining national parks.
Question 10: Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude?
A. Forgiving B. Concerned C. Vindictive D. Surprised

A WALK IN THE MIDDLE SUN
(When the heat is on, walkers need to be on their guard)
Hot weather makes your heart pump harder, and you are not very fir, you start to understand why
the majority of mountain rescue statistics are made up from summer walkers suffering heart attacks. Heat
exhaustion is quite east to get when you are making a great physical effort. It happens where your body
can’t produce enough sweat to keep you cool.
The answer is to keep up your water intake. It’s good idea to drink a pint of water for every 10
degrees Fahrenheit every hour. So, if the temperature is in the 70s, and you are doing a five hour walk,
you will need a minimum of around one and a half pints of water. It is vital that you don’t wait until you
develop a raging thirst before you stop for a drink-keep taking regular swigs from your water bottle.
Many walkers flavor their eater with fruit juice, which makes it a lot more palatable. You could
even use one of the isotonic drink made for athletes, which replace the body’s salts lost through swearing.
Powders such as Dioralyte, which you may have in the house as a treatment for diarrhea, will do the job
just as well, as its main aim is also effective rehydration.
Given that evaporation is your body’s cooling mechanism, you can help things along with an
external application of water. Soaking your hat with water id a great way to cool the head, though if the
sun id beating down, it will probably dry of almost immediately. Better still then if you can plunge into a
river or the sea fully-clothed. And if that’s not possible, then at least take off your boots and socks and
paddle in a cool stream.
Walking in the heat increases the rate at which you feet swell, which can lead to them feeling tight
in your boots. Cool water from a stream reduce any swelling and helps general foot comfort. At the same
time, you can check out your feet for signs of blister. Extra sweating makes the skin softer and increases
the chance of blisters forming, in the same way as when water leaks into your boots and gets to your feet.
As for what clothing you wear, this should be lightweight and reasonably loose-fitting. Tight
clothing will feel comfortable and may even lead to the formation of irritating rash known as “prickly
heat” on your skin. The answer, if this does develop, is to try and stay cool as much as possible. Do this by
either keeping in the shade, or washing the affected area with cold water, but with soap. But prevention is
by far the best approach, so keep your clothing light.
It’s understandable to want to remover any extraneous clothing when it’s extremely hot, but it
doesn’t really make much sense to take off T-shirts. The sun’s rays can be quite strong, and shoulders are
always very sensitive to sunburn. This is the worst place to be red and sore when you are wearing a heavy
rucksack on your back. Wearing shorts can also create problems for walkers, as the backs of the legs can
catch the sun very easily.
In fact, those days when an apparently harmless breeze is blowing can be the most deceptive. It
might not felt so hot, so you probably wont’ notice the damage being done so soon. As on every other day
then, a good strong sun cream should therefore be applied to any skin which is exposed. Make the most of
the summer, but treat the sun with the respect it deservers.

Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the
natural environment surrounding their homes. This method of harvesting from nature’s provision is the
oldest known subsistence strategy and has been practiced for at least the last two million years. It was,
indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of wild animals were
introduced about 10,000 years ago.
Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their
numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments, such as deserts and
arctic wastelands. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability of plant
life. Such conditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting, and on fishing along the coasts and
waterways. The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has
provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants. In short, the environment differences have
restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies.
Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know from
the observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and
gathering must be very mobile. While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party
harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp. When the food in the area has become
exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also notice seasonal migration patterns
evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between the sexes. These patterns
of behavior may be similar to those practiced by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.
Question 1: The word “domestication” in the first paragraph mostly means ______.
A. adapting animals to suit a new working environment
B. hatching and raising a new species of wild animals in the home

Question 3: The word “marginal” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. disadvantaged B. suburban C. forgotten D. abandoned
Question 4: In the lower latitudes of the tropics, hunter-gatherers ______.
A. can free themselves from hunting
B. have better food gathering from nature
C. live along the coasts and waterways for fishing
D. harvest shorter seasonal crops
Question 5: According to the passage, studies of contemporary subsistence societies can provide a
______.
A. further understanding of prehistoric times
B. broader vision of prehistoric natural environments
C. further understanding of modern subsistence societies
D. deeper insight into the dry-land farming
Question 6: The word “conditions” in the second paragraph refers to ______.

PLANET EARTH
The planet Earth is 4,600 million years old. It is difficult for us to think about such an enormous
length of time because it has little meaning for us. We can, however, simplify the idea to make it more
understandable. We can compare a Planet Earth to a person of forty-six years of age.
Nothing is known about the first seven years of this person’s life. Very little information exists
about the middle period either. It was only at the age of forty-two that Earth began to flower.
Dinosaurs and great reptiles did not appear until one year ago, when the planet was forty-five.
Mammals only arrived eight months ago. In the middle of last week, man-like apes became ape-like man
and began to communicate with each other. Last weekend, the Ice Age covered the Earth.
Modern man has only been around for four hours. During the last hour man discovered agriculture.
The Industrial Revolution and the rise of large cities began just sixty seconds ago.
During that short time, modern man has made a rubbish tip of the Earth. In one minute, he has
increased his numbers to terrible proportions, and has caused the death of hundreds of species of animals.
He has robbed and destroyed the planet in his search of fuels. Now he stands, like a violent, spoilt child,
delighted at the speed of his rise to power, on the edge of the final mass destruction and of killing all the
life which exists in the solar system.
Question 1: The passage tells us that _________.
A. a great deal is known about how the Earth was created.
B. life on Earth began relatively recently.
C. more is known about the first part of the Earth’s life than the middle part.
D. Scientists are well-informed about the middle part of the Earth’s life.
Question 2: We are informed by the author that ________.
A. the dinosaurs appeared during the middle period.
B. mammals and great reptiles both appeared at the same time.
C. there were more than forty-five kind of great reptiles.
D. ape-like men appeared before the last Ice Age.
Question 3: The author is mainly interested in __________.

A. the time when the man first evolved from apes.
B. what has happened since the Industrial Revolution.
C. the effects of farming.
D. the period before the last Ice Age.
Question 4: It would appear that the main danger ahead is that _________.
A. man will destroy everything on Earth.
B. man will use up all the fuels.
C. there will be a population explosion.
D. more species of animals may die out.
Question 5: The author’s general view of man seems to be that _________.
A. he has no right to be so destructive.
B. he has been the most successful animal.
C. he will be able to control the environment.
D. he has learnt a lot from past mistakes.
Bài 4: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or on your answer sheet to indicate the
Probably the most famous film commenting on the twentieth-century technology is Modern Times,
made in 1936. Charlie Chaplin was motivated to make the film by a reporter who, while interviewing him,
happened to describe the working conditions in industrial Detroit. Chaplin was told that healthy young
farm boys were lured to the city to work on automotive assembly lines. Within four or five years, these
young men’s health was destroyed by the stress of work in the factories.
The film opens with a shot of a mass of sheep making their way down a crowded ramp. Abruptly,
the film shifts to a scene of factory workers jostling one another on their way to a factory. However, the
rather bitter note of criticism in the implied comparison is not sustained. It is replaced by a gentle note of
satire. Chaplin prefers to entertain rather than lecture.
Scenes of factory interiors account for only about one-third of Modern Times, but they contain
some of the most pointed social commentary as well as the most comic situations. No one who has seen
the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly trying to keep pace with the fast-moving conveyor belt, almost
losing his mind in the process. Another popular scene involves an automatic feeding machine brought to
the assembly line so that workers need to interrupt their labor to eat. The feeding machine malfunctions,
hurling food at Chaplin, who is strapped in his position on the assembly line and cannot escape. This
serves to illustrate people’s utter helplessness in the face of machines that are meant to serve their basic
needs.
Clearly, Modern Times has its faults, but it remains the best film treating technology within a
social context. It does not offer a radical social message, but it does accurately reflect the sentiment of
many who feel they are victims of an over-mechanized world.

Until recently, the “science of the future” was supposed to be electronics and artificial intelligence.
Today it seems more and more likely that the next great breakthroughs in technology will brought about
through a combination of those two sciences with organic chemistry and genetic engineering. This
combination is the science of biotechnology.
Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic materials. However, it is still
difficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and also to absorb
moisture. Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere nears the combination of
strength, lightness and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects. Nevertheless, scientists in
the laboratory have already succeeded in growing a material that has many of the characteristics of human
skin. The next step may be biotech hearts and eyes which can replace diseased organs in human beings.
These will not be rejected by the body, as is the case with organs from humans.
The applications of biotechnology to energy production seems even more promising. In 1996 the
famous science – fiction writer, Arthur C. Clarke, many of whose previous predictions have come true,
said that we may soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable sources of energy. Some of
these power sources will be biological. Clarke and others have warned us repeatedly that sooner or later
we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources. Coal, oil, and gas are indeed
convenient. However, using them also means creating dangerously high levels of pollution. It will be
impossible to meet the growing demand for energy without increasing that pollution to catastrophic levels
unless we develop power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner.
It is tempting to think that biotechnology or some other ‘science of future’ can solve our problem
for us. Before we surrender to that temptation we should remember nuclear power. Only a few generations
ago it seemed to promise limitless, cheap and safe energy. Today those promises lie burred in a concrete
grave in a place call Chernobyl, in the Ukraine. Biotechnology is unlikely, however, to break its promises
in quite the same or such a dangerous way.
Question 1: According to the text, the science of the future is likely to be _____________.
A. electronics B. biotechnology
C. genetic engineering D. nuclear technology
Question 2: Organic chemistry helps to produce materials that are ______________.
A. almost as strong, light and flexible as an insect’s body
B. almost as good as wool
C. not as good as natural materials
D. stronger, lighter and better than natural materials.
Question 3: According to the text, it may soon be possible _________.
A. to make something as good as human skin
B. to cure certain diseases that damage human organs
C. to take an organ from one human and give it to another human
D. to make useful substitutes for human hearts and eyes
Question 4: In 1996, Arthur C. Clarke predicted ________.
A. new and better way of heating and lighting homes, offices and factories
B. newer and better way of using oil, gas and coal.
C. that using oil, gas and coal would lead to very high levels of pollution
D. that we may not be able to meet future demand for energy
Question 5: What does the text say is one of the worst problems caused by the use of coal, gas and oil?
A. They are no longer as easy to use as they once were.
B. They are so cheap that people waste them.
C. They are too expensive for poorer people in many parts of the world.
D. They are very bad for the world around us.
Question 6: Which of these statements do you think best summarizes what the text is about?
A. We have good reasons for hoping that biotechnology will help us to solve some but not all our
problems.
B. Since has promised to solve our problems in the past but has often created even worse problem for
us.
C. Because of biotechnology, nuclear power and other scientific achievements, the future will be much
better.
D. Despite the problems we have had with nuclear technology, it is still the best way to produce power.
VOLUNTARY SERVICE OVERSEAS VSO
VSO is a registered charity dedicated to assisting in developing countries. More specifically,
selects and places volunteers in response to overseas requests. This work makes it distinctive among other
charities and organizations in the UK. It sends people, not money, to that its services are, in effect, entirely
complementary to the efforts being made by agencies like Oxfam, Christian Aid and Save the Children
Fund with whom it often works directly.
VSO tries to respond to request from overseas which ask for volunteers. Its bias is firmly towards
the poorest members on the community and it takes great care to avoid undermining job opportunities for
local people. Both staff and volunteers also play a special attention to women’s role in development
projects. This is because women’s role in child-rearing, in education and community cohesion are
essential in any healthy process of change.
Over the past 38 years, more than 21,000 volunteers have worked abroad with VSO. There are
now over 1,900 volunteers working in 59 of the less developed countries in Africa, Asia, the Pacific and
the Caribbean.
The application of each volunteer is carefully considered in order to select and interview candidates
against each job request from the field, to seek the person with the right blend of skills and personality.
VSO, the work
VSO volunteers do not go to developing countries as visiting experts with all the answers. It is
always a process of sharing and learning. The aim is that when the volunteer returns home, there exists a
community with a stronger sense of independence and self-reliance… and a volunteer with a new
understanding and appreciation of life and people everywhere. The range of jobs required of VSO is wide-
reflecting the needs of any society in the modern world.
Question 1: VSO is different from other charities and organization from UK because it ________.
A. is a registered body.
B. sends financial aid to developing countries.
C. sends volunteers to help abroad.
D. Recruits volunteers to work in Britain.
Question 2: Requests from overseas most likely to be dealt with are those which __________.
A. specifically ask for female staff and volunteers
B. require volunteers to work with local inhabitants.
C. require help and advice for health care.
D. need help and advice for health care.
Question 3: According to those who work for VSO, who plays the most important part in bringing about
change?
A. Charitable organizations B. Volunteers from abroad
C. Women in local communities D. Staff who recruit volunteers
Question 4: What happens when VSO wants to appoint new volunteers?
A. They give preference to applicants living abroad.
B. They give each applicants several interviews.

B. Will quickly become an expert in the field.
C. will gain more knowledge about the world we live in.
D. must leave the country before it becomes independent.
Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery
has been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive engines and was
passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that
provided power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses,
those forms have not much adaptability.
On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful voltages
that drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge
electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered
by electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten metal in a
furnace, or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee.
Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest
power in the world. It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily
and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances.
To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or
water to drive this machinery. When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without
polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal.
Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident. A tragedy
once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity. The reactor
leaked, which causes many deaths through radiation.
Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the
environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly, they hope to
trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming pools is necessary. When this
happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and
cars that burn fossil fuels.
Question 1: The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first paragraph
to ______.
A. suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy
B. emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity
C. imply that electricity is not the only useful source of energy

D. “Why Electricity Is So Remarkable”
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a
disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one the biggest mistakes, which
ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will
fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very
supportive of their child.
Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking
him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers
twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the
trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is
unwilling.
Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful
musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be successful as they are
and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win.
Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.
Question 1: One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to ______.
A. push their child into trying to much
B. help their child to become a genius.
C. make their child become a musician.

D. neglect their child’s education.
Question 2: Parents’ ambition for their children is not wrong it they ______.
A. force their children into achieving success

Carbohydrates, which are sugars, are an essential part of a healthy diet. They provide the main
source of energy for the body, and they also function to flavor and sweeten foods. Carbohydrates range
from simple sugars like glucose to complex sugars such as Amy lose and Amylopectin. Nutritionists
estimate that carbohydrates should make up about one-fourth to one-fifth of person’s diet. This translates
to about 75-100 grams of carbohydrates per day.
A diet that is deficient in carbohydrates can have an adverse effect on a person’s health. When the
body lacks a sufficient amount of carbohydrate, it must then use its protein supplies for energy, a process
called gluconeogenesis. However, this result in a lack of necessary protein, and further health difficulties
may occur. A lack of carbohydrates can also lead to ketosis, a build-up of ketosis in the body that causes
fatigue, lethargy, and bad breath.

Every year about two million people visit Mount Rushmore, were the faces of four U.S presidents
were carved in granite by sculptor Gutzon Borglum and his son, the late Lincoln Borglum. The creation of
the Mount Rushmore monument Line took 14 years – from 1927 to 1941 – and nearly a million dollars.
These were times when money was difficult to come by and many people were jobless. To move more
than 400,000 tons of rock, Borglum hired laid-off workers from the closed-down mines in the Black Hills
area. He taught these men to dynamite, drill, carve, and finish the granite as they were hanging in midair
in his specially devised chairs, which had many safety features. Borglum was proud of the fact that no
workers were killed or several injured during the years of blasting and carving.
During the carving, many changes in the original design had to be made to keep the carved heads
free of large fissures that were uncovered. However, not all the cracks could be avoided, so Borlgum
concocted a mixture of granite dust, white lead, and linseed oil to fill them.
Every winter, water from melting snows gets into the fissures and expand as it freezes, making the
fissures bigger. Consequently, every autumn maintenance work is done to refill the cracks. The repairers
swing out in space over a 500-foot drop and fix the monument with the same mixture that Borglum used
to preserve this national monument for future generations.
Question 1: This passage is mainly about ______.
A. the visitors to the Mount Rushmore monument
B. the faces at the Mount Rushmore monument
C. the sculptor of the Mount Rushmore monument
D. the creation of the Mount Rushmore monument

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become
extinct or have neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles
in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become
extinct.
What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused
almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but
personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of
extinction. Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the
world’s ecosystem. International laws protecting animals must be enacted to ensure their survival - and the
survival of our planet.
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries,
in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves. They then
charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend
on world organizations for support. This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect
the animals. Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products
made from endangered species. This has had some effect, but by itself will not prevent animals from being
hunted and killed.
Question 1: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The Bengal tiger B. International boycotts.
C. Endangered species D. Problems with industrialization
Question 2: Which of the following is closet in meaning to the word ‘alarming’ in paragraph 2?

Question 3: Which of the following could best replace the word ‘case’ as used in paragraph 2?
A. Act B. Situation C. Contrast D. Trade
Question 4: The word ‘poachers’ as used in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by which of the
following?
A. Illegal hunters B. enterprising researchers
C. Concerned scientists D. Trained hunters
Question 5: The word ‘callousness’ in paragraph 2 refer to in the passage
A. Indirectness B. Independence C. Incompetence D. Insensitivity
Question 6: What does the word ‘this’ in paragraph 2 refer to in the passage?
A. Bengal tigers

Khóa học LTðH môn Tiếng Anh – Giáo viên: Vũ Thị Mai Phương Phương pháp làm bài tập ñiền từ
PHƯƠNG PHÁP LÀM BÀI TẬP ðIỀN TỪ

I. LÝ THUYẾT
1. Cấp ñộ cụm từ
Khi học bài trên lớp, học sinh thường không chú ý nhiều ñến các cụm từ cố ñịnh. Hầu như học sinh mới
chỉ dừng lại ở việc hiểu nghĩa của các cụm từ ñó nhưng như vậy là chưa ñủ. Các bài ñiền từ thường nhằm
vào những cụm từ trên, bỏ trống một thành phần và yêu cầu học sinh chọn từ ñiền vào. Các phương án
ñưa ra thường không khác nhau về chức năng/ ngữ nghĩa nhưng chỉ có một phương án kết hợp ñược với
các thành tố xung quanh và là ñáp án ñúng.
Ex: Her parents wanted her to go to university but I know that she was really fed __(2)__ with studying.
2. A. on B. in C. up D. down
Trong 4 giới từ trên chỉ có up là ñáp án ñúng vì khi kết hợp với từ ñứng trước và từ ñi sau thì nó tạo thành
Chính vì vậy, trong quá trình học tập các em cần lưu ý học thuộc những cụm từ xuất hiện cố ñịnh như:
· To be fond of sth = to be keen on sth: yêu thích cái gì
· To be interested in sth: thích thú, quan tâm cái gì
· To be good at sth: giỏi về lĩnh vực gì, giỏi làm gì
· To be surprised at sth: ngạc nhiên vì ñiều gì…
· To be fed up with sth: chán ñiều gì
· To be bored with sth: chán làm gì
· To be tired of sth: mệt mỏi vì ñiều gì
· To be afraid of sth: sợ, e ngại ñiều gì
Ngoài ra, các câu hỏi cũng hay tập trung vào những cụm ñộng tân cố ñịnh hoặc những cụm ñộng ngữ
(phrasal verbs)
2. Cấp ñộ cấu trúc
Người ra ñề có thể bỏ bớt một từ trong các cấu trúc học sinh ñã ñược học trong sách giáo khoa và ñưa ra 4
phương án lựa chọn. Khi làm các câu hỏi này, các em cần lưu ý phân biệt rõ các từ và ñặt nó vào bối cảnh
cụ thể trong câu vì các lựa chọn ñưa ra hầu hết ñều có cùng ý nghĩa với nhau nhưng chỉ có một từ có thể
ñiền vào chỗ trống ñể tạo thành cấu trúc ñúng.
Ex: It really takes you years to get to know someone well _____ to consider your best friend.
Trong câu trên, chỉ có enough có thể ñược ñiền vào chỗ trống ñể tạo thành cấu trúc có nghĩa là V + Adv +
enough + to do sth. Trong khi ñó, such và so thường ñi kèm với mệnh ñề phía sau. Too cũng có cấu trúc
gần giống enough nhưng khác về vị trí và ý nghĩa. Hãy xem ví dụ sau:
Ex: The coffee is too hot to drink. (Cà phê nóng quá nên không thể uống ñược).
Như vậy, cấu trúc too là: Too + adj + to do sth: quá…. ñến nỗi không thể làm gì.
Ngoài ra, trong chương trình học tiếng Anh phổ thông cũng có rất nhiều bài nói về cấu trúc so sánh của
tính từ và trạng từ nên ñây cũng là mảng kiến thức trọng tâm trong các câu hỏi trắc nghiệm ñiền từ. Người
ra ñề có thể bỏ bớt 1 thành tố trong câu trúc so sánh như “than, as” hoặc ñưa ra những dạng so sánh hơn
Ex: When receiving the exam result, she seemed _____ than his sister.
A. more happy B. happier C. the more happy C. the happiest
Rõ ràng câu trên cần chọn B. happier ñể ñiền vào chỗ trống vì câu này so sánh hơn tính từ happy (do
có than). Ta không dùng more happy vì tính từ này kết thúc bằng chữ “y”.
3. Cấp ñộ mệnh ñề và câu
Phổ biến nhất về cấp ñộ này là các câu hỏi về sự hòa hợp giữa chủ ngữ và ñộng từ (subject – verb
concord). ðể làm tốt câu hỏi dạng này, các em cần phân biệt danh từ ñếm ñược và danh từ không ñếm
ñược; danh từ số ít và danh từ số nhiều ñể chia ñộng từ/ trợ ñộng từ cho ñúng. Các em cần lưu ý có rất
bằng –s mà vẫn là danh từ số nhiều như men (ñàn ông), women (phụ nữ), feet (bàn chân), geese (con
dạng số ít và số nhiều như: fish (cá), carp (cá chép), cod (cá thu), squid (cá mực), trout (cá
trầu), turbot (cá bơn), salmon (cá hồi), mackerel (cá thu), pike (cá chó), plaice (cá bơn sao), deer (con
nai), sheep (con cừu).
Có một số từ/ cụm từ luôn luôn ñi với danh từ ñếm ñược (như few, a few, many…) trong khi một số từ chỉ
bổ nghĩa cho danh từ không ñếm ñược như (little, a little, much…).
Ex: We have cut down _____ trees that there are now vast areas of wasteland all over the world.
Vì danh từ ñi sau (trees) là danh từ ñếm ñược số nhiều nên chỉ có thể ñiền phương án B hoặc C. Dựa vào ý
nghĩa của câu (vế sau) thì ta phải chọn B. (Chúng ta ñã chặt nhiều cây xanh ñến nỗi ngày nay có nhiều khu
ñất hoang rộng lớn trên toàn thế giới).
Mặt khác, việc xác ñịnh sự tương ứng về số giữa chủ ngữ và ñộng từ cũng giúp ta chọn ñược ñáp án chính
xác từ những phương án có nội dung tương tự nhau. Hãy xem ví dụ sau ñây:
Ex: 75% of the world’s _____ is in English.
Ngoài kiến thức thực tế, học sinh cũng có thể phân tích ngữ pháp của câu ñể chọn từ ñiền vào chỗ trống.
Ta thấy rằng ñộng từ to be ñược chia ở dạng số ít là “is” nên chủ ngữ chắc chắn là số ít hoặc không ñếm
ñược. Các phương án B, C, D ñều ở dạng số nhiều nên danh từ không ñếm ñược mail chính là ñáp án.
Cuối cùng tôi xin lưu ý các em là khi làm bài dạng chọn từ ñiền vào chỗ trống trong ñoạn văn, các em nên
ñọc kỹ toàn bài và hiểu ñược mối quan hệ giữa các thông tin trước và sau chỗ trống. ðôi khi, ñáp án lại có
ngay trong chính ñoạn văn các em ñang ñọc!
Thông thường dạng bài ñiền từ vào chỗ trống bao gồm 1 ñoạn văn (khoảng 150 – 200 từ) với các chỗ
trống ñể ñiền từ. ði kèm là các phương án cho học sinh lựa chọn ñể ñiền vào các chỗ trống trong ñoạn
văn. ðây là dạng bài tập có phạm vi kiến thức rất rộng, nhằm kiểm tra kiến thức ngôn ngữ tổng hợp của
học sinh trong rất nhiều lĩnh vực ngữ pháp như: từ vựng, cấu trúc ngữ pháp, ngôn ngữ, yếu tố văn hóa
v.v… ðể giúp các em làm tốt bài tập dạng này, sau ñây chúng tôi xin hướng dẫn chi tiết cách làm bài và
giúp các em nhận biết các lỗi cũng như các “bẫy” thường gặp. Các câu hỏi thường ñược phân chia theo
các cấp ñộ kiến thức từ ñơn vị từ vựng, cụm từ, cấu trúc câu và ñến toàn ñoạn. Trong phần 1 này, chúng
tôi sẽ ñề cập các dạng câu hỏi ở cấp ñộ từ vựng.
1. Trong tiếng Anh có 3 loại từ cơ bản là danh từ, ñộng từ, tính từ. Và ñây cũng chính là các từ loại ñược
hỏi nhiều nhất. Nhận biết các từ loại này không khó, nhưng ñể chọn ñúng từ cần ñiền vào chỗ trống, các
em cần nhớ những quy tắc sau:
- Danh từ thường ñứng ñầu câu ñóng vai trò là chủ ngữ, hoặc ñứng sau ñộng từ làm tân ngữ cho ñộng từ
ñó.
- Tính từ dùng ñể bổ sung ý nghĩa cho danh từ và thường ñứng trước danh từ.
- ðộng từ thường ñược bổ nghĩa bởi trạng từ (có thể ñứng sau hoặc trước ñộng từ).
Khi làm bài, các em cần xác ñịnh vị trí của từ cần ñiền so với các từ xung quanh và ñoán xem ñó là loại từ
gì, sau ñó mới nhìn xuống phần phương án lựa chọn. Với cùng một gốc từ, nếu có xuất hiện một từ loại
ñang cần thì các em có thể chọn luôn. Trong trường hợp có hơn 1 từ cùng từ loại thì ta phải cân nhắc về
nghĩa.
Ex: […] There are doubts about the _____ of the new drug in treating the disease. […]
A. effect B. effective C. effectiveness D. effectively
Chỗ trống cần ñiền ñứng sau mạo từ “the” nên chắc chắn phải là danh từ. Trong 4 phương án trên có tới 2
danh từ là effect (ảnh hưởng) và effectiveness (hiệu lực, tác dụng) nên ta phải dựa vào nghĩa của câu và từ
ñể chọn. Có những hoài nghi về tác dụng chữa bệnh của loại thuốc mới nên effectiveness là ñáp án ñúng.
2. Giới từ là một trong những phần yếu nhất của hầu hết học sinh. ðiều này một phần cũng bởi vì giới từ
tiếng Anh và giới từ tiếng Việt có nhiều trường hợp khác xa nhau, thậm chí ñối nghịch nhau, dẫn ñến việc
sử dụng sai của nhiều học sinh. Chẳng hạn như giới từ “trên, dưới”. Chúng ta thường
nói: trên trời, dưới biển… tuy nhiên tiếng Anh lại nói: in the sky, in the sea… (chứ không phải “on the
sky”, “under the sea” như nhiều học sinh nhầm lẫn). Mặt khác, tùy vào ngữ cảnh của câu và hàm ý của
người nói mà giới từ ñược dùng cho phù hợp.
Ví dụ, cùng với từ “rain” nhưng ta có thể dùng cả giới từ “in” hoặc “under” tùy hoàn cảnh. Hãy so sánh:
· She was completely wet because she had walked in the rain. (Cô ấy ñi trực tiếp trong mưa)
· With a big umbrella she walked leisurely under the rain. (Cô ấy không trực tiếp bị mưa vì ñã che ô).
Ngoài ra, giới từ chỉ thời gian cũng là nguyên nhân khiến nhiều học sinh mất ñiểm trong bài thi. ðể giúp
các em dễ nhớ cách dùng giới từ chỉ thời gian, chúng tôi ñã rút ra: “Ngày on giờ at tháng, năm in”. Khi
làm bài, dựa vào những từ chỉ thời gian ñứng gần nhất là các em có thể tìm giới từ tương ứng.
3. Loại câu hỏi thứ ba cũng thường thấy trong các bài thi tốt nghiệp THPT là dạng câu hỏi về các từ ñể hỏi
(wh-question). Trong bài học hôm nay, chúng ta cùng ôn lại ý nghĩa của các từ ñể hỏi này:
- What: cái gì, ñiều gì. What were you doing at 10 p.m last night? (10 giờ tối qua cậu ñang làm gì vậy?)
- Which: cái nào (khi có nhiều lựa chọn). Which do you want, red or blue one? (Chị muốn mua chiếc nào,
chiếc màu xanh hay chiếc màu ñỏ?)
- Who: ai, người nào (hỏi cho chủ ngữ). Who taught you English at secondary school? (Ai dạy bạn tiếng
Anh ở cấp 2 vậy?)
- Whom: ai, người nào (hỏi cho tân ngữ của ñộng từ). Whom is he talking about? (Anh ta ñang nói về ai
thế?)
- Whose (+ danh từ): của ai. Whose books are these? (Những quyển sách này là của ai vậy?)
- Where: ở ñâu. Do you know where is my key? (Cậu có biết chìa khóa của tớ ở ñâu không?)
- When: khi nào. When do you fininsh the assignment? (Khi nào thì cậu hoàn thành bài tập?)
- Why: tại sao. Why are you looking at me like that? (Sao chị nhìn tôi như thế?)
- How: như thế nào. How does she look? (Trông cô ấy thế nào?)
- How often: bao lâu một lần (hỏi tần suất). How often do you come back home? (Bao lâu bạn về quê một
lần?)
- How much/ many: hỏi số lượng. How many students are there in your class? (Lớp bạn có bao nhiêu học
sinh?)
- How far: bao xa. How far is it from your house to the school? (Từ nhà bạn ñến trường bao xa?)
Khi chọn từ ñể ñiền, các em phải ñọc kỹ nội dung câu hỏi ñể xác ñịnh từ ñiền cho chính xác.
Ex: To the majority of us, this is someone we trust completely and __(1)__understands us better than
anyone else.
A. whose B. who C. whom D. which
Ta thấy rằng từ cần ñiền dùng ñể chỉ người (someone) nên phương án “which” bị loại. Ta không thể dùng
phương án A vì từ ñi sau là ñộng từ (understands) chứ không phải danh từ. Từ cần ñiền phải là ñại từ chỉ
người ñóng vai trò là chủ ngữ cho mệnh ñề phía sau. Theo như phân tích ở trên, who dùng cho chủ ngữ
còn whom dùng cho tân ngữ nên suy ra who là ñáp án ñúng.
Hãy ñọc một mạch từ ñầu ñến hết bài ñọc, không ñọc các ñáp án cho sẵn, không cố gắng ñiền vào chỗ
trống. không dừng lại khi có từ mới. Các em có khoảng 30 giây ñến 1 phút ñể thực hiện bước này và trả
lời 2 câu hỏi:
1. Nội dung chính của bài này là gì?
2. Các sự kiện của bài diễn ra trong quá khứ hay hiện tại?
II. LUYỆN TẬP
Chúng ta cùng làm một bài tập ñọc và ñiền từ của ñề thi tốt nghiệp THPT năm 2010.
Hãy ñọc một mạch từ ñầu ñến hết bài ñọc, không ñọc các ñáp án cho sẵn, không cố gắng ñiền vào chỗ
trống. không dừng lại khi có từ mới. Các em có khoảng 30 giây ñến 1 phút ñể thực hiện bước này và trả
lời 2 câu hỏi:
3. Nội dung chính của bài này là gì?
Các sự kiện của bài diễn ra trong quá khứ hay hiện tại?
Bài 1. ðọc kỹ ñoạn văn sau và chọn phương án ñúng (ứng với A, B, C, hoặc D) cho mỗi câu từ 1 ñến 5.
William Shakespeare was one of the greatest writers in the English literature. He was born in 1564 in
Stratford-upon-Avon. (1)______ the age of eighteen he married Anne Hathaway, (2)______ was eight
years older than himself. A few years later he moved to London, where he worked as an actor and a
playwright. Shakespeare (3)______ 36 plays and 154 sonnets (a kind of poem). His most famous plays are
the four great tragedies - Othello, Macbeth, Hamlet, and King Lear. Shakespeare died in Stratford-upon-
Avon on 23 April 1616. His (4)______ are still very popular today: they have been translated into
different languages, and many of them have been (5)______ into films, both in English and in other
languages.
1: A. In B. From C. At D. On
2: A. who B. whose C. which D. whom
3: A. write B. written C. writes D. wrote
4: A. films B. plays C. novels D. actors
5: A. worked B. produced C. done D. made
Như chúng ta thấy, bài này nói về Shakespear và những sự kiện và thành tựu quan trọng trong ñời ông.
Hầu hết các sự kiện ñều diễn ra trong quá khứ và xảy ra theo trình tự thời gian.
Mục ñích của lần ñọc thứ nhất là nắm ñược nội dung chính của bài, thời gian và bố cục của bài. Việc này
giúp các em rất nhiều trong việc suy luận và chọn ra câu trả lời ñúng.
Bây giờ, hãy ñọc lại bài, ñọc kỹ lần lượt từng câu một, chú ý câu có chứa chỗ trống hoặc cả câu sau nó.
Với mỗi chỗ trống, xác ñịnh xem từ cần tìm là từ loại gì, ñóng vai trò chức năng gì trong câu và có nghĩa
gì. Xem cả 4 ñáp án ñã cho và lựa chọn ra ñáp án ñúng.Chú ý không dừng lâu ở những câu khó mà bỏ qua.
Các em có 3 phút ñể làm phần này
Nếu các em ñể ý, việc tìm từ ñiền chỗ trống trên cơ sở phân tích chức năng ngữ pháp và nghĩa của từ cần
tìm giúp các em xác ñịnh chính xác và có cơ sở giải thích cho việc tại sao ta chọn từ này chứ không phải
từ kia.
Bây giờ, các em hãy ñọc lại cả bài với các từ ñã ñiền và kiểm tra một lần nữa xem lựa chọn của mình ñã
chính xác chưa. Với câu khó chưa tìm ñược ñáp án, ñây là lúc các em có thể tìm ra ñáp án. Nếu vẫn không
tìm ñược, bỏ qua.Các em có 30 giây ñến 1 phút ñể làm phần này.
Chữa bài:
Hai chỗ trống số 1 và số 2 cùng nằm trong 1 câu.

Xét vị trí chỗ trống là trước một cụm danh từ “at the age of 18”, nên phải là một giới từ. Áp dụng kiến
thức về nhóm giới từ phổ biết ñã học trong bài 14, ta biết
At ñược dùng trước cụm danh từ ñi với 1 cụm danh từ chỉ ñịa chỉ, tuổi hoặc thời gian chính xác (giờ). Vậy
ñáp án có thể là “At”.
Xét 3 lựa chọn còn lại ñều là giới từ, nhưng in chỉ ñứng trược cụm từ chỉ tuổi mang tính ước lệ hay quãng
tuổi. Ex: She is in her thirties ( cô ấy ñang ở lứa tuổi trên 30 và dưới 40.). Vậy nên A. bị loại.
ðáp án B. from có thể ñứng trước một mốc thời gian cụ thể, nhưng với nghĩa ñánh dấu khởi ñầu một giai
ñoạn ñến nay, vậy nên cũng bị loại vì ñộng từ và nghĩa của câu miêu tả một hành ñộng ñã xảy ra, ñã hoàn
thành tại một thời ñiểm cụ thể trong quá khứ.
ðáp án D. On là ñáp án hoàn toàn không phù hợp, vì on chỉ ñứng trước danh từ chỉ ngày, kỳ nghỉ hoặc chỉ
một dịp ví dụ: on Monday hoặc on this occasion.
Vậy ñáp án ñúng à C. At
Câu 2. chỗ trống cần ñiền ñứng sau một danh từ, phân cách bởi dấu , và trước ñộng từ, nên phải là ñại từ
chủ ngữ của một mệnh ñề. Mệnh ñề này bổ nghĩa cho danh từ chỉ người Anne Hathaway. Vậy chỗ trống
cần ñiền phải là một ñại từ chủ ngữ chỉ người.
Xét 4 ñáp án cho sẵn, ta thấy lựa chọn B. Whose và lựa chọn C. Which ñều chỉ vật, nên hiển nhiên sai.
Lựa chọn D. Whom là ñại từ chỉ người, nhưng là ñại từ tân ngữ, nên cũng bị loại.
ðáp án ñúng là A. who vì nó là ñại từ chủ ngữ chỉ người và phụ hợp về mặt ngữ pháp với chỗ trống cần
ñiền.
Xét vị trí của chỗ trống, từ cần ñiền là 1 ñộng từ.
Cả 4 lựa chọn ñã cho ñều là ñộng từ, chỉ khác nhau về thời. Shakespeare ñã qua ñời, và không còn viết
kịch hay thơ ở hiện tại, nên ñáp án A. write và C. writes là sai hiển nhiên.
ðáp án B. sai về mẫu câu, vì written là phân từ 2, nhưng trước nó lại không có trợ ñộng từ. ðó là chưa nói
ñến ngữ nghĩa.
Xét ngữ cảnh, việc việt các vở kịch và thơ của Shakespeare ñã hoàn thành trong quá khứ, ðộng từ ở ñây
phải chia ở quá khứ ñơn. Vậy nên ñáp án ñúng là D. wrote
Ta thấy chỗ trống số 4 ñứng sau một tính từ sở hữu là his, vì vậy nó phải là một danh từ. vậy nên ñáp án
B. played là sai. Trong các ñáp án còn lại thì A. actors và C. films là không phù hợp về nghĩa vì
Shakespeare không làm phim và cũng không có diễn viên còn sống ñến nay. Vậy ñáp án ñúng là D. Plays
Vị trí cần ñiền số 5 là một ñộng từ ở dạng phân từ 2 . Cả 4 ñáp án ñã cho ñều là ñộng từ dạng này. Xét cấu
trúc câu và ngữ cảnh, câu này có ý rằng nhiều vở diễn của Shakespeare ñã ñược làm thành phim.
Lựa chọn A là sai vì ñộng từ thành ngữ to work something into something thường chỉ dùng với nghĩa ñen
với nghĩa là rèn, nén hay trộn cái gì thành cái gì ñó. Ex: She works the iron into a knife. (cô ấy rèn thanh
sắt thành cái dao)
Lựa chọn B. cũng sai vì tân ngữ của nó ñứng trực tiếp sau nó, không có mẫu câu produce into.
Lựa chọn C. sai vì không có mẫu câu do sthm into something
ðể diễn tả ý chuyển hoặc làm cái gì thành cái gì, người ta thường dùng mẫu: to make something into
something và ñấy và là ñộng từ thành ngữ.
ðáp án ñúng là D. made
Trên ñây là ba bước và cách luyện tập và làm bài ñọc ñiền từ.
Các bước gồm:
• Bước 1: ñọc cả bài tìm hiểu nội dung chính, cách tổ chức thông tin, thời gian (30 giây-1 phút)
• Bước 2: phân tích chỗ trống cần ñiền, phân tích ñáp án cho sẵnloại ñáp án sai, tìm ñáp án ñúng (3
phút - 4 phút)
• Bước 3: kiểm tra lại tìm sai sót nếu có (30 giây-1 phút)
