Đáp án A
Dịch câu đề bài: “Tôi chưa bao giờ đến Nga. Tôi nghĩ tôi sẽ đi đến đó vào năm tới” Bill nói.

B. không dịch vì sai ngữ pháp - động từ “thinks” không lùi thì.
C. không dịch vì sai ngữ pháp - động từ “thinks” không lùi thì.
D. không dịch vì sai ngữ pháp - động từ “thinks” không lùi thì.
Đáp án A đúng vì tuân thủ các quy tắc chuyển từ câu trực tiếp về câu gián tiếp: lùi các thì hiện tại về thì quá khứ tương ứng, chuyển các ngôi trực tiếp (I) về ngôi gián tiếp (he), và chuyển trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian “next year” thành “the next year”.
Ba đáp án còn lại sai vì chưa lùi thì của động từ “thinks” về thì quá khứ tương ứng.
* Mở rộng: Ở câu gián tiếp, các yếu tố về ngôi luôn luôn thay đổi so với câu trực tiếp. Tuy nhiên, các yếu tố còn lại như thì động từ, trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian, nơi chốn, và chỉ định chỉ thay đổi khi các động từ tường thuật “say/ tell” chia ở quá khứ. Nếu các động từ này được chia ở các thì hiện tại (tất cả các thì hiện tại) thì không có yếu tố nào được thay đổi trừ ngôi.
Ví dụ: My mother always says: “You have to clean up your table before you go back to your room”
→ My mother always says I have to clean up my table before I go back to my room, (câu gián tiếp chỉ thay đổi ngôi từ you → I vì động từ “say” chia ở hiện tại đơn).

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 43 to 50.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law in 1990. This law extends civil rights protection to persons with disabilities in private sector employment, all public services, and in public accommodations, transportation, and telecommunications. A person with disability is defined as someone with a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits him or her in a major life activity, such as walking, talking, working, or self-care. A person with a
disability may also be someone with a past record of such an impairment, for example, someone who no longer has heart disease but discriminated against because of that history.
The ADA states that employers with fifteen or more employees may not refuse to hire or promote a person because of a disability if that person is qualified to perform the job. Also, the employer must make reasonable accommodations that will allow a person with a disability to perform essential functions of the job. All new vehicles purchased by public transit authorities must be accessible to people with disabilities. All rail stations must be made accessible, and at least one car per train in existing rail systems must be made accessible.
It is illegal for public accommodations to exclude or refuse persons with disabilities. Public accommodations are businesses and services such as restaurants, hotels, grocery stores, and parks. All new buildings must be made accessible, and existing facilities must remove barriers if the removal can be accomplished without much difficulty or expense.
The ADA also stipulates that companies offering telephone service to the general public must offer relay services to individuals who use telecommunications devices for the deaf, twenty- four hours a day, seven days a week.
