Các câu hỏi trong bài thi trắc nghiệm tiếng Anh chủ yếu trắc nghiệm khả năng về ngữ pháp và cách dùng
tiếng Anh (English grammar and usage), kể cả phần viết và đọc hiểu. Cấu trúc đề thi năm 2007 đã được
Bộ GD-ĐT phổ biến bao gồm các phần như: phonetic, grammar, vocabulary, reading skill và writing skill
đã tạo dễ dàng cho học sinh, sinh viên ôn tập chuẩn bị cho các kỳ thi.
* . Cách chọn câu trả lời
Chúng tôi giới thiệu hai loại câu hỏi thông dụng và cách trả lời:
1. Hoàn chỉnh câu (Sentence completion): Đề thi đưa ra một câu chưa hoàn chỉnh, trong đó, một hay một
vài phần được bỏ trống. Theo sau là đáp án, thường liệt kê 4 từ hay cụm từ hoặc mệnh đề. Thí sinh sẽ
chọn trong số những đáp án đưa ra, đáp án nào là chính xác để hoàn tất câu hợp với cú pháp và hợp lý
nhất.
Thí dụ: Hãy chọn từ hoặc cụm từ (A, B, C hoặc D) thích hợp nhất cho khoảng trống của câu (Choose the
word or phrase (A, B, C, or D) that best fits the blank space in the sentence).
Last week, when John arrived at the airport, the plane __________
A. took off. B. had taken off
C. will take off. D. takes off.
Đáp án đúng là B. Ta dùng thì past perfect (quá khứ hoàn thành) ở đây để chỉ một hành động xảy ra trước
một hành động khác ở trong quá khứ. Tuần trước, khi John đến phi trường thì phi cơ đã cất cánh (hành
động xảy ra trước: phi cơ cất cánh - ở thì quá khứ hoàn thành; hành động sau: John đến phi trường - ở thì
quá khứ đơn).
Để trả lời câu hỏi loại này, ta cần chú ý:
- Nếu các đáp án khá ngắn, ta nên liếc nhanh toàn bộ để có khái niệm về những thiếu sót của câu. Cái
"liếc" này thường có thể giúp ta phân nhóm câu hỏi thuộc loại parallel structure, verb forms, word order...
- Nếu các đáp án dài và phức tạp, ta hãy bắt đầu bằng việc đọc cả câu. Không nên phân tích từng từ một
nhưng khi đọc hãy cố hình thành diện mạo cấu trúc cả câu: Có bao nhiêu mệnh đề trong câu? Mỗi mệnh
đề đã có đủ chủ ngữ và động từ hay chưa? Đã có liên từ kết nối các mệnh đề với nhau? Còn phần nào
thiếu sót?...
- Nếu chưa tìm được đáp án ngay, cố gắng giải đáp bằng phương pháp loại trừ, tức loại dần những đáp án
không hợp lý. Đó là các đáp án:Còn thiếu những từ hoặc cụm từ thiết yếu khiến cho câu chưa hoàn
chỉnh.Bao gồm những từ hay cụm từ không cần thiết.Một phần của đáp án sai ngữ pháp khi điền vào toàn
câu.
2. Nhận diện sai sót (Error identification): Câu hỏi thường đưa ra 4 từ hay cụm từ được gạch dưới
(underline). Thí sinh sẽ nhận diện trong số những đáp án đưa ra, đáp án nào là sai, cần phải viết lại để câu
được hoàn chỉnh.
Thí dụ: Hãy chọn từ hoặc cụm từ được gạch dưới, cần phải điều chỉnh lại cho đúng (Choose the
underlined word or phrase (A, B, C, or D) that needs correcting).
In North American cultural, men do not kissmen when meeting each other. They shake hands.
2
A
B
C
D
Với câu này, ta chọn đáp án A vì cutural là tính từ, trong khi ở vị trí này phải là danh từ: culture.
Để trả lời câu hỏi loại này, ta cần lưu ý:
- Đừng bao giờ chỉ tập trung đọc những từ hay cụm từ được gạch dưới, bởi vì những từ hay cụm từ đó
thường chỉ sai hoặc không hợp lý khi đặt vào ngữ cảnh của toàn câu.
- Phải đọc kỹ câu dẫn và 4 lựa chọn rồi mới quyếtt định lựa chọn đáp án
Với câu hỏi tương đối dễ, thí sinh có thể trả lời ngay để tiếp tục qua câu khác. Nếu chưa tìm được điểm
sai sót ngay, hãy đọc lại toàn câu và lần này, hãy chú ý đến những từ, cụm từ được gạch dưới. Thông
thường, trong cách đọc hằng ngày, chúng ta có thói quen liếc nhanh qua các "tiểu từ" như mạo từ, giới từ
vì những từ này không chứa thông tin. Tuy nhiên, trong bài thi trắc nghiệm, đây là những phần có thể
chứa sai sót nên ta cần lưu ý.
3. Những điểm cần lưu ý khi làm bài thi trắc nghiệm
1. Theo đúng hướng dẫn: đọc kỹ các hướng dẫn về làm bài thi.
2. Đọc hết toàn bộ từng câu hỏi và tất cả các chọn lựa của đáp án trước khi chọn câu trả lời.
3. Trả lời tất cả các câu. Mỗi câu đều có điểm, cho nên bỏ câu nào là mất điểm câu đó. Với những câu hỏi
mà ta không biết câu trả lời chính xác thì các bạn cũng phải nên đoán.
4. Chọn câu trả lời tốt nhất trong các đáp án được câu hỏi đưa ra. Có thể bạn nghĩ rằng câu trả lời đúng
không nằm trong số những đáp án đưa ra, nhưng bạn bị giới hạn là chỉ được chọn lựa đáp án tốt nhất
trong số đáp án đã cho mà thôi.
5. Không nên phí thời gian cho một câu hỏi nào đó, hoặc chưa hiểu rõ, hoặc quá khó. Nếu chưa trả lời
được ngay thì nên bỏ qua để làm những câu kế tiếp. Sau đó, nếu còn thời gian sẽ làm trở lại những câu đã
bỏ qua nói trên. Nhớ ghi số thứ tự của câu đã bỏ qua vào giấy nháp để dễ nhận diện. Do không bị trừ
điểm nếu thí sinh chọn câu sai, nên trước khi hết giờ thi, các bạn cần chọn nhanh đáp án hợp lý nhất cho
những câu chưa trả lời.
6. Đọc câu nào thì trả lời ngay câu ấy. Tránh cách làm bằng việc trả lời trước trên giấy nháp toàn bộ bài
thi rồi sau đó mới tô vào bản trả lời, vì đôi lúc sẽ rất cập rập vào giờ chót nên sẽ tô lộn xộn trên phiếu trả
lời.
7. Phải đánh dấu câu trả lời theo đúng hướng dẫn và đúng với số thứ tự của câu trên bản trả lời: Dùng bút
chì đen tô kín ô tròn tương ứng với chữ cái đã chọn trên phiếu trả lời. Cần lưu ý là phải tô đậm và lấp kín
diện tích cả ô (không dùng gạch chéo hay đánh dấu). Chẳng hạn, nếu ta đang làm câu số 9 và chọn C là
phương án đúng thì ta tô đen ô C trên dòng số 9 của phiếu trả lời:
KHÔNG tô 2 ô cho cùng một câu vì mỗi câu chỉ cho một phương án đúng cho một câu. Thí dụ như
câu trên, nếu đã chọn và tô đen đáp án C rồi thì không tô thêm ô nào nữa. Trong trường hợp tô
nhầm ô hay muốn đổi phương án trả lời, thì phải tẩy thật sạch ô cũ và tô kín ô mới được chọn.
8. Để tiết kiệm thời gian, các bạn nên tập tô thử các ô trước ở nhà. Thông thường, các thí sinh hay gọt sẵn
những cây viết chì loại 2B (theo quy định) không gọt quá nhọn nên tập tô trước o nhà. Một trong những
châm ngôn khi học tiếng Anh mà chúng ta cần ghi nhớ là phải "Thực hành, thực hành và thực hành"
(Practice, practice, and practice). Ở phần luyện thi trắc nghiệm thì các bạn nên tìm cách làm thêm thật
nhiều bài thi trắc nghiệm càng tốt.

ntil the 19th century, the denial of equal rights to women met with only occasional protest and drew little
attention from most people. Because most women lacked the educational and economic resources that
U
would enable them to challenge the prevailing social order, women generally accepted their inferior status
as their only option. At this time, women shared these disadvantages with the majority of working class men, as
many social, economic, and political rights were restricted to the wealthy elite. In the 19th century, as governments
in Europe and North America began to draft new laws guaranteeing equality among men, significant numbers of
women – and some men – began to demand that women be accorded equal rights as well.
At the same time, the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America further divided the roles of men
and women. Before the Industrial Revolution most people worked in farming or crafts-making, both of which took
place in or near the home. Men and women usually divided the numerous tasks among themselves and their
children. Industrialization led male workers to seek employment outside of the home in factories and other largescale enterprises. The growing split between home and work reinforced the idea that women’s “rightful place” was
in the home, while men belonged in the public world of employment and politics.
Organized efforts by women to achieve greater rights occurred in two major waves. The first wave began
around the mid-19th century, when women in the United States and elsewhere campaigned to gain suffrage – that is,
the right to vote. This wave lasted until the 1920s, when several countries granted women suffrage.
41.Why did the denial of equal rights to women draw little attention from the society until the 19th century?

D. All are correct.
42.Until the 19th century, what was the status of the working class men in the society?

C. in the 19 century
D. in the early 20th century
44.What did the effect of the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America bring about?
A. Male workers tried to seek employment outside of the home.
B. It did not bring the equality to women.
C. Well-educated, upper-class men controlled most positions of employment and power in society.
D. All are correct.
45.What was the aim of the women’s movement in the United States in the 1920s?

he seven-nation Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) met September 2, 1996, in Singapore, to
discuss how to police the Internet. Although the group agreed on the need to control the explosion of
T
information available on the Internet, it was unable to reach a common policy for regulating access to the
global computer network.
At the end of the three-day meeting, ASEAN government officials and industry experts issued a statement
emphasizing the need to block access to Web sites that run “counter to our cherished values, traditions and culture”.
ASEAN comprises Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The meeting was the first time the Southeast Asian countries had tried to formulate a common approach to
the Internet. Many of the ASEAN-member countries were concerned about the dissemination of pornography and
antigovernment views over the Internet, the influence and perceived bias of the Western media, and the erosion of
Asian values.
The forum, which followed a meeting of ASEAN information ministers earlier in the year, concluded that
each country should develop its own regulatory approach to cyberspace. The ASEAN delegates agreed to share
information and their experiences with national regulations and “cyberlaws”.
The forum was unable to agree on a regulatory framework for the region because of differing political views
regarding censorship. Singapore, which has an estimated 150,000 Web users, is the first ASEAN country to impose
regulations on access to the Internet. The city-state requires Internet providers to block access to pornographic sites
and regulate political and religious discussion. On the other hand, the Philippines and Thailand support more liberal
policies, calling for self-regulation by Internet access providers and minimal government intervention.

to each of the questions.
Like schools in Britain and other English speaking countries, those in the U.S have also always stressed
"character" or "social" skills through extracurricular activities, including organized sports. Because most schools
start at around 8 o'clock every morning and classes often do not finish until 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, such
activities mean that many students do not return home until the early evening. There is usually a very broad range
of extracurricular activities available. Most schools, for instance, publish their own student newspapers, and some
have their own radio stations. Almost all have student orchestras, bands, and choirs.
Many different sports are also available and most schools share their facilities - swimming pools, tennis
courts, tracks, and stadiums - with the public. Often the students themselves organize and support school activities
and raise money through car washes, baby-sitting, or by mowing lawns. Parents and local business often also help a
group that, for example, has a chance to go to a state music competition, to compete in some sports championship,
or take a camping trip. Such activities not only give pupils a chance to be together outside of normal classes, they
also help develop a feeling of "school spirit" among the students and in the community.

Câu 47. Which extracurricular school activities are not mentioned?

Will people still read books 100 years from now? A few years ago, many people would have said no. It seemed
likely that computers and the Internet would replace books. Now, however, most experts think that books are here
to stay.
There are a number of reasons why computers will not replace books entirely. One reason is that books on paper
are much cheaper than computers. And books do not need a power source. You can read a book for as long as you
want and wherever you want. You never have to worry about losing power. Also, many people feel more
comfortable reading words in a book than reading words on a computer screen because it is less tiring to the eyes.
Will books in the future be exactly the same as the books you can buy today? The answer to that question is no.
In the future, you may only need to buy one book. With this one book, you will be able to read novels, plays, and
newspapers. It will look like today's books, but it will be electronic.
One of the people working on the book of the future is Professor Joseph Jacobson from Massachusetts Institute
of Technology. Professor Jacobson's electronic book will have a small button on the side. When you press the
button, words will instantly appear on the page. When you want to read a different story, you can push the button
again and a new story will quickly appear.

source.
