B. STRESS
Sentence stress (Trọng âm câu)
Trong tiếng Anh, không chỉ từ mang trọng âm, mà câu cũng có trọng âm. Trọng âm câu đóng vai trò
rất quan trọng, vì khi nói, từ mà người nói nhấn trọng âm cũng như cách đánh trọng âm vào cùng
một từ có thể làm thay đổi hoàn toàn nghĩa hàm chứa trong câu nói.
Quy tắc nhấn trọng âm câu được liệt kê trong bảng sau:
Những từ được nhấn trọng âm thì thường phát âm to, rõ ràng và chậm hơn những từ còn lại.
Nhấn trọng âm vào từ chính (từ mang nghĩa) - Content word.
Danh từ (nouns) cars, teachers
Động từ chính (main verbs) drank, looking
Tính từ (adjectives) soft, hard
Trạng từ (Adverbs, trừ trạng từ tần suất) carefully, quickly
Từ phủ định (negatives) not, never
Không nhấn trọng âm vào từchức năng - Function/Structure words.
Giới từ (prepositions) do, is
Trợ động từ (Auxiliary verbs) at, on
Liên từ (Conjunctions) and, or, but
Từ hạn định (Determiners) a, an, the
Đại từ (pronouns) I, me, him
Nhịp giữa các từ được nhấn trọng âm câu là như nhau.
E.g. She is TALKING to her PARENTS.

C. GRAMMAR

E. READING
I. Read the passage and choose the best answer.
Hardware and software are two terms you’ve probably heard of at some point or another. The odds
are high that you use both on a daily basis, whether it’s with your smartphone or personal computer.
Let’s take a deeper look at what these two things are and why they’re important.
Hardware is any element of a computer that is physical. This includes things like monitors, keyboards,
and also the insides of devices, like microchips and hard drives. Software is anything that tells
hardware what to do and how to do it, including computer programs and apps on your phone. Video
games, photo editors, and web browsers are just a few examples.
Hardware and software are different from each other, but they also need one another in order to
function. The hardware would be the physical phone itself, and the software would be its operating
system and apps. If we were to take away the software, we would just have a dead phone in our
hands. It wouldn’t be able to make calls, text, or go online because it’s not receiving any instructions.
On the other hand, let’s say we have no hardware, meaning there’s no actual phone. If all we have are
the programs, we just have a bunch of instructions but nothing to give these instructions to. Hardware
needs software to tell it what to do, but software also needs hardware in order to act out its
directions. When you combine the two, you can do all sorts of things, whether you’re using a
smartphone, computer, or any other type of device.
Technology will continue to evolve. We may not be sure how it will look in 100 years, but hardware
and software will be there serving as its foundation.
1. The second paragraph is mainly about ______________.
A. the difference between hardware and software
B. some of the hardware and software of a computer
C. the definition of hardware and software of a computer
D. some facts concerning computer’s hardware and software
2. The word “physical” in the second paragraph mostly refers to ______________.
A. material B. natural C. logical D. mental
3. What does the author want to imply in the third and the fourth paragraphs?
A. Hardware and its operation system
B. Hardware and software work together
C. The superior role of software to its hardware
D. The way hardware and software function
4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Some of the hardware inside of a computer are microchips, hard drives, monitors, keyboards...
B. Video games, photo editors, and web browsers are not software.
C. When a smartphone is making a call, sending a message, or going online, that means it starts
receiving instructions from the user.
D. A smartphone, a computer, or a similar device must have a functioning software to operate.
5. We can learn from the passage that ______________.
A. if there were no software, there would be no hardware
B. if a hardware had no software, it could create one on its own
C. in 2100 humans will still be using technological devices which have both hardware and software
D. we will only use the technological devices that have both hardware and software in 100 years’ time
II. Fill in each blank with a word from the box.
