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 31 to 35.

Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and their number has varied from one to forty-eight stars. Most of the coins issued from about 1799 to the early years of the twentieth century bore thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies.

 Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued in 1794, had fifteen stars because by that time Vermont and Kentucky have joined the Union. At that time it was apparently the intention of mint officials to add a star for each new state. Following the admission of Tennessee in 1796, for example, some varieties of half dimes, dimes, and half dollars were produced with sixteen stars.

 As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that this scheme would not prove practical and the coins from 1798 were issued with only thirteen Stars - one for each of the original colonies. Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the 1828 half-cent was issued with only twelve stars. There is also a variety of the large cent with only 12 stars, but this is the result of a die break and is not a true error.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the denomination of an American coin?

A. features

B. coins

C. stars

Đáp án C

Phương pháp giải:

Kiến thức: Đọc hiểu – từ thay thế

Giải chi tiết:

Từ “their” trong dòng 1 đề cấp đến _________.

A. features: đặc điểm

B. coins: đồng xu

C. stars: ngôi sao

D. colonies: thuộc địa

Thông tin: Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and their number has varied from one to forty-eight stars.

Tạm dịch: Các ngôi sao là đặc điểm quan trọng trong thiết kế của nhiều đồng tiền Hoa Kỳ và số lượng của chúng thay đổi từ một đến bốn mươi tám sao.

=> their number = the number of stars (số lượng ngôi sao)

Chú ý khi giải:

Dịch bài đọc:

Các ngôi sao là đặc điểm quan trọng trong thiết kế của nhiều đồng tiền Hoa Kỳ và số lượng của chúng thay đổi từ một đến bốn mươi tám sao. Hầu hết các đồng tiền được phát hành từ khoảng năm 1799 đến những năm đầu của thế kỷ XX đều có hình mười ba ngôi sao tượng trưng cho mười ba thuộc địa ban đầu.

Thật kỳ lạ là, những đồng bạc đầu tiên của Mỹ, được phát hành vào năm 1794, có mười lăm ngôi sao bởi vì vào thời điểm đó Vermont và Kentucky đã gia nhập Liên minh. Vào thời điểm đó, rõ ràng các quan chức của xưởng đúc tiền có ý định thêm một ngôi sao cho mỗi bang mới. Ví dụ, sau khi Tennessee được gia nhập vào năm 1796, một số loại đồng nửa dimes, dimes và nửa đô la đã được sản xuất với mười sáu ngôi sao.

Tuy nhiên, khi nhiều tiểu bang được gia nhập vào Liên minh, nhanh chóng trở nên rõ ràng rằng kế hoạch này sẽ không chứng minh được tính thực tế và các đồng tiền từ năm 1798 chỉ được phát hành với 13 sao - một sao cho mỗi thuộc địa ban đầu. Do lỗi tại xưởng đúc tiền, một loại đồng nửa xu năm 1828 chỉ được phát hành với mười hai sao. Ngoài ra còn có nhiều loại đồng xu lớn chỉ có 12 sao, nhưng đây là kết quả của sự tan vỡ và không phải là lỗi thực sự
