Câu 5:

Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the underlined part that needs correction in each of the following questions

Halley‟s comet, viewing through a telescope, was quite impressive

Xem đáp án

Đáp án A

Kiến thức: Mệnh đề quan hệ, sửa lỗi sai

Giải thích:

viewing => viewed/which was viewed

Ở đây ta phải dùng mệnh đề quan hệ để thay thế cho “comet” ở phía trước. Trong câu này vì trước đó có dấu phảy nên ta bắt buộc dùng “which” chứ không dùng “that” (ngoài ra ta có thể dùng mệnh đề quan hệ rút gọn bằng cách dùng dạng quá khứ phân từ “viewed”)

Tạm dịch: Sao chổi Halley, được nhìn xuyên qua kính thiên văn, khá ấn tượng.


Câu 6:

Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the underlined part that needs correction in each of the following questions

There are a car and two vans in front of  my house.

Xem đáp án

Đáp án A

Kiến thức: Cách dùng đặc biệt của “There is” và “There are”

Giải thích:

are => is 

Nếu danh từ trong chuỗi liệt kê bắt đầu là danh từ số ít hoặc danh từ không đếm được, chúng ta dùng “There is”. Nếu danh từ trong chuỗi liệt kê bắt đầu là danh từ số nhiều, chúng ta dùng “There are”.

Trong câu này, danh từ bắt đầu là “a car” (số ít) nên ta phải dùng There is

Tạm dịch: Có một chiếc xe hơi và hai chiếc xe tải trước nhà tôi.


Câu 7:

Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the underlined part that needs correction in each of the following questions.

All her children have graduated from university, that is the reason for her to be proud

Xem đáp án

Đáp án C

Kiến thức: Mệnh đề quan hệ

Giải thích:

that => which

Mệnh đề quan hệ “that” không đứng đằng sau dấu phảy, vì thế dùng “that” là sai. Ta  dùng mệnh đề quan hệ

“which” để thay thế cho cả 1 vế câu ở phía trước.

Tạm dịch: Tất cả các con của cô đã tốt nghiệp đại học, đó là lý do để cô tự hào.

After that it became common for groups and singers to write their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they  split up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for them – their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their  clothes as souvenirs!  However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when they first came out.

Đáp án D

Giải thích:

Từ "sensational" có ý nghĩa gần nhất với

A. Khét tiếng   C. Sốc

B. Xấu            D. Phổ biến

"sensational" ~ popular: gây ấn tượng lớn, phổ biến

Since  then,  there  have  been  a  great  many  groups  that  have  achieved  enormous  fame,  so  it  is  perhaps  difficult now to imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time.

Kể  từ  đó, đã có rất  nhiều  nhóm  nhạc đã đạt được  danh  vọng  rất  lớn,  vì  vậy  có  lẽ  bây  giờ  khó tưởng tượng Beatles gây ấn tượng lớn thế nào vào thời điểm đó.

The Beatles changed pop music.  They were the first pop group to achieve great success from songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they  split up in 1970.

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.

Early humans saw a variety of natural colours around them, from the browns and greens of the soil and plants to the deep blues and red of the sky. They painted their bodies with colours from nature to signal aggression toward an enemy, or to make themselves attractive to a mate.

A girl and a rainbow of crushed ice flavors at Chowpatty Beach, India. Over the centuries, the sources of colours such as blue, purple, and red were high valued and they were often  worth as much as gold.  In the 19th century, a young chemistry student manufactured the first synthetic dye, and suddenly the world became a much more colorful place. In the 20th century, scientists discovered the psychological effects of colours, and people found ways to use this discovery to influence our feelings and behaviors.

RED

Red, colour of blood, symbolises fire, love and anger. In Eastern cultures, people believe it brings luck, wealth and success. In humans, the color red can send different messages. Some people redden, for example, when they are angry or embarrassed.  Researchers have discovered that in sports the team that is wearing red is more likely to win. Why? Because red seems to be the color that signals dominance, giving those dressed in red an advantage in sporting  events. In many animal species (including humans), contact with this bold color causes the heart rate to increase. However, one of red’s lighter shades, pink, can have the opposite effect on people. Man in prisons are less agressive when the walls are a specific shade of pink.

YELLOW

Yellow, the colour that comes to mind when we think of sunshine, is found throughout nature and the man-made world as a colour that commands attention; indeed, it is one of the easiest colours to see. This highly visible shade is found on everything from school buses to traffic signs and pens that we use to highlight important information in a text. The colour is also used to caution people; football players, for example, are shown a yellow card as a reminder to behave. It can be used as a stimulant as well: in a number of studies, yellow has been found to help children focus on their work and do better at school.

BLUE

Blue, the colour of the sky and sea, is associated in many cultures with water, religious objects, and protection against evil. Its darker shades represent calm, stability and power. Dark blue, for example, is the colour of the business suit or police uniform; it tells others, ‘I am in control,’ or ‘I am trustworthy.’ Blue is also associated with sadness. It’s common in English, for example, when you are feeling sad or depressed, to talk about ‘feeling blue,’ while in Iran, blue is the colour of mourning, worn when a person dies. Like pink, blue has a calming effect on people. Rooms painted blue help people to relax or sleep. Sleeping pills are often coloured blue to suggest exactly this idea. This colour also seems to reduce feelings of hunger. Blue food is rarely seen in nature, and when it is, such food is usually no longer healthy to consume. It’s just one more example of the power that colour can hold over us.
