CÁC TÁC GIẢ
PHUONG PHAP LAM BAI THI

I. THI TRẮC NGHIỆM


Trắc nghiệm là phương pháp thi mà trong đó đề thi thường gồm nhiều câu hỏi, mỗi câu kiêm
tra một vấn đề sao cho thí sinh chỉ phải lựa chọn đáp án đúng đối với từng câu hỏi. Có nhiều
kiểu câu trác nghiệm khác nhau nhưng người ta thường dùng c â u trắc nghiệm nhiều lựa
chọn đê làm đê thi cho các kì thi đòi hỏi tính khách quan công bằng cao, có đông thí sinh dự thi,
cần chấm bàng máy với tốc độ cao.
Câu trắc nghiệm nhiều lựa chọn (multipỉe choice questions) có hai phần: phần đầu (được gọi
là phần dẫn - steni) nêu ra vấn đề, cung cấp thông tin cần thiết hoặc nêu một câu hỏi; phần sau
là các phương án đc chọn {options - được đánh dấu bằng các chừ cái A, B, c, D). Các kì thi hiện
nay sử dụng một loại câu trắc nghiệm chi có duy nhất một phương án đúng (key) trong số 4
phương án đã cho; các phương án khác được đưa vào có tác dụng “gây nhiễu” đối với thí sinh
(distracters). Neu nắm vững kiến thức về vấn đề đà nêu, thí sinh sẽ nhận biết được trong các
phương án để chọn đâu là phương án đúng.
II. ĐỀ THI VÀ BÀI THI TRẮC NGHIỆM MÔN TIẺNG ANH
1. Đe thi trắc nghiệm được Bộ Giáo dục và Đào tạo sử dụng cho môn tiếng Anh trong kì thi THPT
quốc gia năm 2019.
2. Có 50 câu hỏi trắc nghiệm trong đề thi tiếng Anh cho thời gian 60 phút. Các câu trắc nghiệm
trong đề thi đều có 4 lựa chọn A, B, c, D.
3. Thí sinh làm bài trên phiếu trả lời trắc nghiệm được in sẵn theo quy định của Bộ Giáo dục và
Đào tạo, để chấm bằng hệ thống tự động.
III. NHỮNG ĐIỀU THÍ SINH CAN LƯU Ý KHI LÀM BÀI THI TRÁC NGHIỆM
1. Đối với thi trắc nghiệm, đề thi gồm nhiều câu hỏi, rải khắp chương trình, không có trọng tâm
cho mồi phần, do đó các em học sinh cần phải học toàn bộ nội dung môn học, tránh đoán “tủ”,
học “tủ”.

2. Gần sát ngày thi, các em nên rà soát lại chương trình môn học đã ôn tập; xem kĩ hơn đối với
những nội dung khỏ; nhớ lại những chi tiết cốt lõi. Không nên làm thêm những câu trắc nghiệm
mới vì dề hoang mang nếu gặp nhừng câu trắc nghiệm quá khó.
3. Đừng bao giờ nghĩ đến việc mang “tài liệu trợ giúp” vào phòng thi hoặc trông chờ sự giúp đờ
của thí sinh khác trong phòng thi, vì các thí sinh có đề thi với hình thức hoàn toàn khác nhau.
4. Trước giờ thi, nên “ôn” lại toàn bộ quy trình thi trắc nghiệm để có thể làm bài thi chính xác và
nhanh nhất. Thời gian là một thử thách khi làm bài trắc nghiệm, vì thế thí sinh phái hết sức khẩn
trương, tiết kiệm thời gian; phải vận dụng kiến thức, kĩ năng để nhanh chóng quyết định chọn
phương án trả lời đúng.
5. Theo đúng hướng dần của giám thị, thực hiện tốt và tạo tâm trạng thoải mái trong phần khai báo
trên phiếu TLTN. Bằng cách đó, thí sinh có thể cùng cố sự tự tin khi làm bài trắc nghiệm.
6. Nên bắt đầu làm bài từ câu trác nghiệm số 1; lần lượt “lướt qua” khá nhanh, quyết định làm
những câu cám thấy dề và chắc chắn, đồng thời đánh dấu trong đề thi nhừng câu chưa làm
được; lần lượt thực hiện đến câu trắc nghiệm cuối cùng trong đề. Sau đó quay trở lại “giải
quyết” những câu đã tạm thời bỏ qua. Lưu ý, trong khi thực hiện vòng hai cũng cần hết sức
khẩn trương; nên làm những câu tương đối dễ hơn, một lần nữa bỏ lại những câu quá khó đê
giải quyết trong lượt thứ ba, nếu còn thời gian.
7. Khi làm một câu trắc nghiệm, phái đánh giá đế loại bỏ ngay những phương án sai và tập trung
cân nhắc trong các phương án còn lại phương án nào là đúng.
8. Cố gắng trả lời tất cả các câu trắc nghiệm của đề thi để có cơ hội giành điểm cao nhất; không
nên để trống mà không trả lời một câu hỏi nào.

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 38 to 42.
The debate over vending machines in schools is not new. For a long time, regional governments
and public schools have been deliberating on whether or not it is a good idea to have vending
machines in schools. In America, for example, only one state has banned these machines in its
public schools. Around the country, however, most state schools have different rules about how
many and how often vending machines should be accessible to students. Although some people
believe that having these drink and snack machines in schools is a good idea, others contend
that there are many disadvantages, too.
Doctors and other health workers, for instance, suggest that the main disadvantage of having
vending machines in schools is based on health and nutrition. They cite statistics that show
school-aged children have poorly balanced diets, often due to eating too much fast food. If
vending machines are introduced to schools, children will have yet another option for eating
unhealthy foods. In a survey of vending machine sales across the country, it was found that
sweet drinks like colas and sugary snacks like candy bars were the biggest sellers. Sugary foods
and drinks commonly cause obesity in consumers. Opponents of vending machines in schools
worry that we are teaching children to be obese. Considering the problem of childhood obesity,
it is plausible to say that children’s health problems will only get worse if vending machines are
allowed in schools. (Source: Academic Pathways)

A. the impact of vending machines on American children
B. how vending machines improve children’s health

B. Vending machines are not allowed in all American public schools.
C. Only one state allows the use of vending machines at public schools.
D. Some vending machines are allowed to be accessible to students.

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
A mansion is a very large home. McDonald’s is the name of a fast food hamburger chain. What
do you get when you put the two together? You get McMansion, the recently-created name for
a type of large, suburban, two storied home that originated in the United States. Many people
love McMansions for their low price, abundant space and impressive styling, but the news is
not all good. In fact, McMansions may now be a threatened species. McMansion became
very popular in the United States during the 1990s, and this popularity continued for almost 20
years. During those years the economy was relatively strong, and banks were willing to lend
large sums of money to people who wanted to buy a home. The result was an increase in the
average home size. In 1988, the average new American home was 170 square meters, but by
2008 this had risen to 244 square meters, a 44% increase.
To offset the greater costs of these large homes, land developers built many homes that all used
a similar basic design and identical construction methods. Framing and interior fittings were
constructed in factories, instead of on site, and the materials used were often of a lower quality.
Finally, the sections of land used for each house were much smaller than before.
The result was suburban developments full of huge homes, often over 280 square meters in
floor area, that all looked similar to each other. Their standardization and lowest-possible-cost
construction reminded people of McDonald’s hamburgers, hence the term McMansion. For
many people a McMansion was their dream home, but that dream is now rapidly turning sour.
There are two main problems with McMansions. One problem is that their huge size means that
they cost a lot to heat or cool. Energy is becoming more expensive, so owners are faced with
huge bills if they try to heat or cool their home. The other problem is that McMansion owners
are often in a lot of debt. They borrowed a lot of money to pay for their impressive home, but
during the 2000s, with struggling economy and high unemployment, they couldn’t afford to
repay their loan.
McMansions are still popular in some areas, but no one is sure how long it will last. Will energy
become even more expensive and force owners to downsize? Will the economy grow and banks
become more willing to lend again? Will the drop-in house prices allow larger, less affluent
families to afford a McMansion? These questions are weighing heavily on the future of one of
the most popular housing styles of the late 20th century.

Bitcoins are a form of virtual currency. In other words, they are a type of money that does not
exist in the actual world. However, they can be used to purchase actual products and services
from real companies.
The bitcoin system was created in 2009 by an enigmatic person named Satoshi Nakamoto. In
fact, no one is sure if Satoshi Nakamoto is an actual person or a group of people. Bitcoins are
designed to serve as an alternative to national currencies, such as dollars and euros. They can be
used to pay for things online instead of cash or credit cards. When bitcoins are transferred from
a buyer to a seller, the transaction is recorded in a public database.
Governments are concerned that bitcoins can easily be stolen by hackers. It has dawned on them
that they might be used for illegal purposes. For example, stolen goods could be purchased
without the government’s knowledge. Although more and more companies are beginning to
accept bitcoins, the percentage of purchases made using bitcoins is minuscule compared to
other online payment methods, such as credit cards. Instead, many bitcoin owners simply keep
them as an investment since they believe their bitcoins will be more valuable in the future.
This may or may not be a wise approach. Currently, the value of bitcoins is fluctuating wildly,
especially when compared to highly stable national currencies. Bitcoin investors are gambling
on the hope that as this high-tech money becomes more widely accepted, its value will soar.
30. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A new kind of currency in the virtual world
B. A way of doing business in the virtual world
C. An alternative to bitcoins created by Nakamoto
D. The future of bitcoins in the real world
31. The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. dollars B. euros C. things D. bitcoins
32. The word “minuscule” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .
A. Considerable B. small C. minimal D. increasing
33. Why are bitcoins of great concern to governments?
A. Because the value of bitcoins is fluctuating wildly.
B. Because bitcoins will eventually replace national currencies.
C. Because bitcoins may be used in illegal transactions.
D. Because most of bitcoin owners are hackers.
34. Which of the following is defined in the passage?
A. Bitcoins B. Transactions C. Credit cardsD. Public Databases
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
A few years ago, astronomers discovered a mile-wide rock tumbling through space. At first, the
scientists feared that the newly discovered space rock would plow into Earth on February 1,
2019.
Scientists named the space rock NT7 and clocked its speed at 7 miles per second. The scientists
thought the asteroid was heading straight for Earth!
A mile-wide asteroid could take out an entire continent, scientists say. Fearing the worst,
scientists kept their eyes on NT7. They plotted its orbit, or path, around the sun.
After watching NT7 for several weeks, scientists found out that NT7 would miss Earth on
February 1, 2019.
Most asteroids orbit the sun between Mars and Jupiter. NT7, however, is a near-Earth asteroid.
Near-Earth asteroids orbit the sun close to Earth. NT7 orbits the sun once every 837 days. Its
orbit sometimes takes NT7 as far from the sun as Mars. At other times, it is within Earth’s orbit.
Scientists know about nearly 350 near-Earth asteroids. They carefully map the orbits of those
asteroids to make sure the asteroids don’t come too close to our planet.
Scientists say anywhere from 500 to 1,000 near-Earth asteroids are yet to be discovered.
Scientists are searching the sky for them. They want to have plenty of warning if one comes too
close.
An asteroid the size of NT7 may one day come close to Earth, scientists say. “An object of this
size would be expected to hit Earth every few million years, and as we get additional data I
think this threat will go away,” said Donald Yeoman of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA). Yeoman and most other scientists say you shouldn’t worry too much
about asteroids. Most don’t think a space rock will pose a threat in the near future. If an asteroid
does come near Earth, scientists might be able to destroy it. One scientist, for instance, said a
large laser could be used to zap NT7 if the asteroid came too close to Earth.
Many people often confuse asteroids and comets. Asteroids are chunks of rock in space. Comets
are not made of rock. They are made mostly of ice. Comets spend most of their time far from
the sun. When a comet nears the sun, heat from the sun warms it, causing the ice to melt. The
melting ice forms a comet’s long tail. After rounding the sun, the comet moves farther away
from the sun. The comet cools and the tail slowly disappears.

(Source: https://www.readworks.org)
35. What detail does the author use to describe NT7?
A. The speed of NT7 is 70 miles per hour.
B. The size of NT7 is 8 miles wide.
C. The orbit of NT7 takes 837 days.
D. The color of NT7 matches that of comets.
36. According to the passage, where do most asteroids orbit the sun?
A. between Earth and Mars B. between Mars and Jupiter
C. between Venus and Jupiter D. between the sun and Earth
37. Why do you think people often confuse asteroids and comets?
A. Like asteroids, comets look like space rocks when they are far from the sun.
B. Like asteroids, comets could cause a lot of damage if they hit Earth.
C. Like comets, asteroids melt when they get close to the sun.
D. Like comets, most asteroids have long tails when they pass Earth.
38. According to the passage, astronomers are .

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Apples are one of the healthiest foods you can eat every day. A traditional American proverb
states: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away". But it does not specifically say anything about
the best time of day to eat apples. It is generally believed that eating an apple in the morning is
good for people, but eating an apple in the evening is like eating poison.
There is actually a scientific reason behind this belief. One benefit of apples is that they are a
favorable source of fructose, which is a natural form of sugar that gives you a big boost of
energy. The energy you get from an apple is longer lasting than that provided by a cup of
coffee. Clearly, this is something most people would rather experience in the morning than right
before bedtime.
Apples also contain high levels of pectin, a kind of dietary fiber. Fiber stimulates bowel
movements, which help maintain the health of your digestive system. But if you eat an apple
shortly before going to bed, this can cause problems. While you are asleep, your bowels can fill
up with gas, making you feel bloated and uncomfortable. You may also wake up several times
to use the bathroom, which will prevent you from getting a good night's sleep.
Other health benefits of apples come from flavonoids, beta carotene, and B vitamins.
Flavonoids are the material that gives flowers and fruits their bright colors, such as the deep red
of apples. When eaten, flavonoids can decrease your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other
illnesses. Meanwhile, beta carotene helps prevent cancer, and B vitamins provide the body with
a wide variety of important benefits. Apparently, starting your day with an apple really can keep
the doctor away.
30. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Apples are not as good as people may think.
B. Eating an apple in the morning proves beneficial.
C. Pectin can cause digestive problems at night.
D. Flavonoids are as good as beta carotene.
31. The word “that” in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. an apple B. energy C. sugar D. a cup of coffee
32. The word “stimulates” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .
A. prevents B. avoids C. encourages D. creates
33. Which of the following gives people a big boost of energy?
A. Fructose B. Flavonoids
C. Beta Carotene D. Pectin
34. Which of the following is true about flavonoids?
A. They make apples’ colours brighter than those of other fruits.
B. They are less important than beta carotene and B vitamins.
C. They help prevent the risks of several health problems.
D. They may lead to the feeling of being bloated and uncomfortable.

answer to each of the questions.
Did you know that some people don’t do their reading assignments? It’s shocking, but it’s true.
Some students don’t even read short texts that they are assigned in class. There are many
reasons for this. They may be distracted or bored. They may be unwilling to focus. They may be
unconfident readers. Whatever the reason, it has to stop today. Here’s why.
Reading stimulates your mind. It is like a workout for your brain. When people get old, their
muscles begin to deteriorate. They get weaker and their strength leaves them. Exercise can
prevent this loss. The same thing happens to people’s brains when they get older. Brain power
and speed decline with age. Reading strengthens your brain and prevents these declines.
You can benefit from reading in the near-term too. Reading provides knowledge. Knowledge is
power. Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person. You can learn to do new
things by reading. Do you want to make video games? Do you want to design clothing?
Reading can teach you all this and more. But you have to get good at reading, and the only way
to get good at something is to practice.
Read everything that you can at school, regardless of whether you find it interesting. Reading
expands your vocabulary. Even a “boring” text can teach you new words. Having a larger
vocabulary will help you better express yourself. You will be able to speak, write, and think
more intelligently. What’s boring about that?
Do not just discount a text because it is unfamiliar to you. Each time you read, you are exposed
to new ideas and perspectives. Reading can change the way that you understand the world. It
can give you a broader perspective on things. It can make you worldlier. You can learn how
people live in faraway places. You can learn about cultures different from your own. Reading is
good for your state of mind. It has a calming effect. It can lower your stress levels and help you
relax. You can escape from your troubles for a moment when you read, and it’s a positive
escape. The benefits of reading far outweigh those of acting like a doofus. So do yourself a
favor: the next time you get a reading assignment, take as much as you can from it. Squeeze it
for every drop of knowledge that it contains. Then move on to the next one.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Almost everybody has had acne. Acne, also known as pimples or zits, is a normal part of
growing up. When kids reach puberty, their bodies experience many changes. As the levels of
hormones in teenagers’ bodies change, teenagers frequently develop pimples. Additionally,
many people continue to have pimples after puberty. What can a teenager or an adult do to cure
pimples? Unfortunately, many cures people think will work on pimples are really just myths.
Many people believe that popping pimples is the best way to get rid of them. Popping a pimple
will actually push the germs further under the skin, which can cause more redness and pain, or
even turn into an infection. For that reason, dermatologists normally encourage people not to
pop their pimples.
Another widely believed myth is that not wearing makeup can help reduce a person’s chance of
developing pimples. In fact, some kinds of makeup or face creams actually have special
medicine in them to fight pimples. As a result, not all of them are bad for you.
Another myth is that stress can cause acne. Stress comes in many forms, like a big exam at
school or problems with friends. Whilst it is true that stress can cause a person’s skin to create
extra oil, this extra oil does not necessarily cause more pimples.
30. What is the main idea of this reading?

B. People do many things to cure pimples which don’t actually work.
C. Pimples are not a problem for most people.
D. Teenagers are not the only people with pimples.

A. It is not as good as washing one’s face.
B. It may lead to skin irritation or even infection.
C. It is of no use when people reach puberty.
D. It will increase the level of hormones.
32. According to the passage, which is true about wearing makeup?
A. Some right kinds of products may help fight pimples.
B. Makeup cream will increase the amount of oil on skin.
C. Not wearing makeup helps prevent pimples.
D. Wearing cream is not as good as taking medicine.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
The faster a given object is moving, the more energy it possesses. This kind of energy is called
“kinetic energy”, from the Greek word kinesis, meaning motion. The faster a given object is
moving, the greater its kinetic energy.
Imagine you’re trying to hit a target with a bow and arrow. If you just throw the arrow with
your hand, it won’t go very fast, and even if your aim is good, the arrow won’t penetrate the
target - it’ll just bounce off!
But if you use the bow, you can shoot the arrow much faster. The faster the arrow is going, the
more kinetic energy it has. Kinetic energy is what allows the arrow to puncture the target.
Energy can never be created or destroyed, only transferred - moved from place to place. One
way energy is moved from place to place is by moving objects.
Imagine hitting a tee ball with a bat. When you hit the ball with the bat, energy is transferred
from the bat to the ball. If you swing the bat slowly, the ball won’t go very far when you hit it.
But if you swing the bat faster, it will have more kinetic energy. That energy will be transferred
to the ball, and the ball will go much farther.
Energy can also be transferred through sound. Try high-fiving your friend very slowly. You
probably won’t make very much sound. If you high-five at the normal speed, your hands have
more kinetic energy, and you’ll make a nice smack. What you’re hearing is energy turned into
sound. The same thing happens when you hit a drum, or pluck the strings of a guitar.
Energy can also be transferred through light. Light from the sun makes your body feel warmer.
Plants use energy from light and grow bigger and make oxygen. Energy can also be transferred
through electricity. This kind of energy can be used for almost anything. But remember: Energy
cannot be created. Energy in the form of electricity has to be transferred from another kind of
energy. Wind power uses a machine called a turbine that turns the energy of the wind into
electricity. Coal, oil, and gas power bum different kinds of material, creating heat that gets
turned into electricity. Solar power generates electricity from the sun’s light - although not as
easily as a plant.

The modem age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric lights, radio, televisions,
and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them. When there is a
power failure, people grope about in flickering candlelight. Cars hesitate in the streets because
there are no traffic lights to guide them, and food spoils in silent refrigerators.
Yet, people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago.
Nature has apparently been experimenting in this field for millions of years. Scientists are
discovering more and more that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of
electricity that could benefit humanity.
All living cells sent out tiny pulses of electricity. As the heart beats, it sends out pulses of
recorded electricity; they form an electrocardiogram, which a doctor can study to determine
how well the heart is working. The brain, too, sends out brain waves of electricity, which can be
recorded in an electroencephalogram.
The electric currents generated by most living cells are extremely small - often so small that
sensitive instruments are needed to record them. But in some animals, certain muscle cells have
become so specialized as electrical generators that they do not work as muscle cells at all. When
large numbers of these cells are linked together, the effects can be astonishing.
The electric eel is an amazing storage battery. It can send a jolt of as much as eight hundred
volts of electricity through the water in which it lives. (An electric house current is only one
hundred twenty volts.) As many as four fifths of all the cells in the electric eel’s body are
specialized for generating electricity, and the strength of the shock it can deliver corresponds
roughly to the length of its body.
30. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Electric eels are potentially dangerous
B. Biology and electricity appear to be closely related
C. People would be at a loss without electricity

31. The author mentions all of the following as results of a blackout EXCEPT that……. .
A. refrigerated food items may go bad
B. traffic lights do not work
C. people must rely on candlelight
D. elevators and escalators do not function
32. Why does the author mention electric eels?
A. To warn the reader to stay away from them
B. To compare their voltage to that used in houses
C. To give an example of a living electrical generator
D. To describe a new source of electrical power
33. According to the passage, how many volts of electricity can an electric eel emit?
A. 1,000 B. 800 C. 200 D. 120
34. It can be inferred from the passage that the longer an eel is the .
A. more beneficial it will be to science

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Have you ever heard the sound of a hummingbird? They make a buzzing noise when they fly.
They make this noise because they beat their wings so fast. They beat their wings up to 80 times
a second. All that flapping makes a lot of noise. That’s why we call them hummingbirds.
Hummingbirds fly in a unique way. They move their wings so fast that they can hover. This
means that they can stay in one spot in the middle of the air, like a helicopter. Sometimes they
fly or hover upside down. They are the only bird that flies backward.
Hummingbirds are small. One type called the bee hummingbird is the smallest bird in the
world. Bee hummingbirds weigh less than a penny. They are just a little bit bigger than bees. I
guess that’s where they get their name.
Bee hummingbirds build tiny nests. They use cobwebs and bits of bark to make their homes.
Their homes are only an inch around. This is big enough for their eggs though. Their eggs are
smaller than peas. People have found these tiny nests on a clothespin.
Hummingbirds move fast. It takes lots of energy to move as fast as they do. This means that
they need to eat a lot of food. Their favorite food is nectar, a sweet liquid inside of some
flowers. They drink more than their own weight in nectar daily. They have to visit hundreds of
flowers to get enough nectar to live. They can only store enough energy to survive through the
night. They live on the edge. Hummingbirds don’t use their long beaks like straws. They have a
tongue just like you. They use their tongues for eating. They flick their tongues in and out of
their mouths while inside of flowers. They lap up nectar. Flowers give them the energy that they
need.
Hummingbirds help flowers too. They get pollen on their heads and bills when they feed.
Flowers use pollen to make seeds. Hummingbirds help pollen get from one flower to the next.
This helps flowers make more seeds. More seeds means more flowers. More flowers means
more food for hummingbirds. Isn’t it nice how that works out?
