Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the

dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350,

after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion

off 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not expanded

even as far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two century, English

began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization,

and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English, speakers became established and grew in various

Trang 3

parts of the world. As these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of

international business, banking, and diplomacy.

Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is in

English. Two thirds of the world's science writing is in English, and English is the main language of

technology, advertising, media, international airport, and air traffic controllers. Today there are more

than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are non-native speakers, constituting

the largest number of non-native users than any other language in the world.

Question 36: What is the main topic of the passage?

A. The number of non-native users of English.

B. The French influence on the English language.

C. The expansion of English as an international language.

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

Rachel Carson was born in 1907 in Springsdale, Pennsylvania. She studied biology at college and

zoology at Johns Hopkins University, where she received her master’s degree in 1933. In 1936, she was

hired by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where she worked most of her life.

Carson’s first book, Under the Sea Wind, was published in 1941. It received excellent reviews,

but sales were poor until it was reissued in 1952. In that year she published The Sea Around Us, which

provided a fascinating look beneath the ocean’s surface, emphasizing human history as well as geology

and marine biology. Her imagery and language had a poetic quality. Carson consulted no less than 1,000

printed sources. She had voluminous correspondence and frequent discussions with experts in the field.

However, she always realized the limitations of her nontechnical readers.

In 1962, Carson published Silent Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy. It proved

how much harm was done by the uncontrolled, reckless use of insecticides. She detailed how they poison

the food supply of animals, kill birds and fish, and contaminate human food. At the time, spokesmen for

the chemical industry mounted personal attacks against Carson and issued propaganda to indicate that her

findings were flawed. However, her work was proved by a 1963 report of the President’s Science

Advisory Committee.

A./s/ B./z/ C./z/ D./z/

3 D

Phần D trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ 2, còn lại là thứ nhất

4 C

Phần C trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ 3, còn lại là thứ 2

Trang 5

5 D

“to repair” -> “to be repaired”

Chủ ngữ trong vế câu này là vật (roads) nên phải chia động từ ở dạng bị động (need to be done: cần

được làm gì)

6 A

“Pointing in” -> “Pointing at”

Cụm “point (a finger) at someone”: chỉ tay vào ai

7 D

“doing” -> “to do”

Cấu trúc “take sb + time+ to do st”: mất cho ai đó bao nhiêu thời gian để làm gì

8 B

“stressful”: căng thẳng, hỗn loạn

Nhiều ứng viên cảm thấy một cuộc phỏng vấn công việc rất căng thẳng nếu họ không chuẩn bị tốt cho

nó.

9 A

Although + một mệnh đề -> đáp án C loại

“despite” + danh từ/cụm danh từ (không có of) -> câu B loại

Câu D không phù hợp về nghĩa

Đáp án là A: In spite of + danh từ/cụm danh từ

10 D

Cấu trúc đảo ngữ với Hardly: Hardly + had + S + động từ phân từ II + when + mệnh đề quá khứ đơn

bình thường

11 C

“labor-saving” (tính từ ghép): tiết kiệm sức lao động

Việc nhà ít mệt mỏi và nhàm chán hơn nhờ vào việc phát minh ra các thiết bị tiết kiệm lao động.

12 B

Khi có trạng từ chỉ thời gian “By + một khoảng thời gian nào đó trong tương lai”, ta dùng thì tương lai

hoàn thành: will/shall + have + động từ phân từ II

13 B

Câu A, D thiếu mạo từ “a” nên bị loại

Câu C bị sai trật tự, phải là “so beautiful a day” mới đúng

Đáp án là D

14 D

Ở đây, chủ ngữ là vật (Widespread forest destruction) cho nên động từ phải chia ở dạng bị động. A,B,C

đều chia ở chủ động, cho nên bị loại. Ngoài ra nếu xét về nghĩa, câu D là có sự chuẩn xác nhất

15 D

Cấu trúc so sánh hơn “càng…càng…”: the + adj-er (hoặc more + tính từ dài) +…., the + adj –er (hoặc

more + tính từ dài) +….

16 D

Trong câu nếu có to be và tính từ, thì vị trí của “no longer” là ở giữa to be và tính từ đó

17 B

Cụm “get over st”: vượt qua, khắc phục được cái gì

Anh vẫn chưa thực sự đã vượt qua được nỗi đau từ cái chết của mẹ mình.

18 C

Ở đây phải sử dụng thì hoàn thành để diễn tả sự kéo dài của hành động.

Câu B không chính xác bởi khi chuyển từ câu trực tiếp sang gián tiếp, thì hiện tại hoàn thành tiếp diễn

được chuyển thành thì quá khứ hoàn thành tiếp diễn

Trang 6

19 A

Had you arrived = If you had arrived

23 C

“flourishing” = “growing well”: phát triển tốt, hưng thịnh, phát đạt

24 B

“to be contented with st”: vừa lòng với cái gì

Trái nghĩa là “dissatisfied”: không vừa ý, không vừa lòng

25 A

“cruelly”: một cách độc ác, tàn nhẫn

Trái nghĩa là “gently”: một cách nhẹ nhàng, một cách dịu dàng

26 B

“might” + have done: phỏng đoán về một việc có thể đã xảy ra trong quá khứ

27 B

Neil luôn luôn quên sinh nhật vợ mình = Neil không bao giờ nhớ sinh nhật vợ mình

28 D

Cấu trúc so sánh hơn “càng…càng…”: the + adj-er (hoặc more + tính từ dài) +…., the + adj –er (hoặc

more + tính từ dài) +….

29 C

“who” là mệnh đề quan hệ, thay thế cho danh từ A waitress

Câu A không đúng vì thiếu mất 1 dấu “,”. Câu A nên sửa thành “A waitress, who served us , was very

impolite and impatient.”

30 D
