Phần 3: ĐỌC HIỂU
1 BÀI TẬP ĐỌC HIỂU DẠNG CHỌN TỪ ĐIỀN VÀO CHỖ TRỐNG
Bài tập chọn từ điền vào chỗ trống là dạng bài tổng hợp nhiều dạng kiến thức về ngữ pháp,
từ
vựng, cấu trúc… mà học sinh đã được học trong cả bậc học Để làm tốt dạng bài này cần lưu ý những điểm sau:
1 Phân bi ệ t các từ đ ồ ng nghĩa ho ặ c g ầ n nghĩa
Đây cũng chính là câu hỏi có thể kiểm tra về độ thành thạo của học sinh trong quá trình sử dụng ngôn ngữ Tiếng Anh có rất nhiều từ đồng nghĩa hoặc gần
nghĩa, chúng tương đồng về nghĩa và có thể thay thế cho nhau trong một số trường
hợp Tuy nhiên, chúng khác nhau về sắc thái ý nghĩa, mức độ phổ biến,mức độ trang trọn
g cũng
Trang 11như cấu trúc sử dụng Nên trong nhiều trường hợp ta không thể thay thế chúng cho nhau
được Nhiệm vụ của học sinh là nhận ra sự khác biệt giữa chúng để chọn từ điền cho chính
xác
và hợp lý nhất
Hãy xem ví dụ sau:
I _ the orchestra play at Carnegie Hall last summer
A heard B tasted C smelled D listened
Trong 4 phương án, ta có thể loại trừ ngay phương án B và C vì ta không thể nếm hoặc
ngửi thấy nhạc
được Với hai phương án còn lại, các em cần phân biệt sự khác nhau giữa hear và listen
Về nghĩa, hear có nghĩa là nghe thoáng qua, nghe mà chưa có sự chuẩn bị hoặc chủ ý
trước khi
nghe Trong khi đó, listen lại có nghĩa là nghe một cách tập trung và có ý định chú ý nghe t
ừ trước
Về cấu trúc, hear là một động từ chỉ tri giác nên đi sau nó là tân ngữ + động từ nguyê
n mẫu khôngto Tuy nhiên, động từ listen lại luôn đi kèm giới từ to và theo sau là tân ngữ (l
isten to sth)
Xét về mặt nghĩa và cấu trúc thì heard là thích hợp để điền vào câu trên, listened không th
ể thay thế được
2 Xác đ ị nh nghĩa c ủ a t ừ d ự a vào văn c ả nh (context)
Khi làm bài, các em phải đọc kỹ đoạn văn, đặc biệt là các phần trước và sau chỗ trống c
ần điền chọntừ thích hợp Bởi vì phương án được lựa chọn nằm trong tổng thể của cả đo
ạn Ví dụ:
Tigers are rare in India now because we have killed too many for them However, it isn’
t simple enough
to talk about the problem We must act now before it is too late to do _ about it
Về nguyên tắc, tất cả các phương án trên đều có thể dùng được với động từ do Tuy nhi
Cấu trúc too + tính từ + to sth có nghĩa là quá… đến nỗi không thể xác
định.Trong khi đó, something và everything dùng trong câu không phù hợp về nghĩa nên loại hai phương án này
Nothing(không có gì) là từ mang nghĩa phủ định và khi đi với do trong câu trên cũng cónghĩa phù hợp Tuy nhiên,bản thân cấu trúc với too đã mang nghĩa phủ định nên
không thể kết hợp với từ mang nghĩa phủ định trongcùng một câu nên nothing cũng bị loại Anything
là từ được dùng trong câu phủ định tuy nhiên từ này còn có nghĩa bất cứ cái gì
nên thích hợp để dùng trong câu có cấu trúc too ở trên
Trang 123 Sử dụng cụm từ cố định
Tiếng Anh có rất nhiều cụm từ cố định Có những động từ chỉ đi với một loại giới từ nh
ất định, và cũngcó những động từ khi kết hợp với một (một số) giới từ lại mang nghĩa khác với gốc động từ đó Người rađề có thể để khuyết động từ hoặc giới từ để
kiểm tra mảng kiến thức này của học sinh Khi làm bài, cácem không nên chỉ tìm
nghĩa của từ đơn lẻ mà cần đặt chúng trong mối quan hệ với các từ xung quanh
Ví dụ :
1 Mobiles that are fitted permanently in a vehicle do not _ on separate batteries They require an external aerial on the vehicle
A rely B create C carry D insist
Giải thích: create bị loại vì không có cấu trúc create on sth Các động từ còn lại đều có t
hể kết hợp vớion: to insist on sth: khăng khăng, cố nài làm gì đó; to carry on sth: xúc tiế
n, tiếp tục; to rely on sth: dựa vào, cậy vào, nhờ vào
Exercise: Read the pasage and circle the best corect answer

I Comparison of Adjectives and Adverbs.
A Adjectives and Adverbs.
1 Adjectives:
* Positions: - Adj + N beautiful hat.
- be/ seem/ appear/ feel/ taste/ look/ keep + Adj He seems tired now.
- be/ seem/ look/ taste + too + Adj He is too young to drive a motorbike.
- be + Adj + enough She is tall enough to play volleyball.
- be/ seem/ look/ taste/ smell/ + so + Adj + that.
The story is so interesting that I can t put it down.’t put it down.
- How + Adj + S + V How beautiful the girl is.
Notes: Trật tự từ của tính từ:
- Tính từ chỉ cảm nghĩ đứng trước tính từ miêu tả: an interesting young man.
- Đôi khi chúng ta dùng hai hay nhiều tính từ miêu tả trong một câu, thì trật tự của chúng được sắp xếp như sau:
Số lượng + Chất lượng + Kích thước + Tuổi tác + Màu sắc + Xuất xứ( quốc gia)+ Chất liệu +
NOUN.
eg: a beautiful old French picture
- Tính từ chỉ kích thước và chiều dài( big, tall, long ) thường đi trước tính từ chỉ hình dáng và chiều rộng( round, fat, wide ) eg a long narrow street.
- Khi có hai hoặc hơn hai tính từ chỉ màu sắc,ta dùng liên từ ‘and’.
eg.a red, white and green flag.
2 Adverbs: là những từ dùng để diễn tả tính cách, đặc tính, mức độ, trạng thái và được dùng để bổ
nghĩa cho động từ, tính từ, trạng từ khác hoặc cho cả câu.
* Positions: - V(trợ động từ) + Adv + V (thường) I have recently finished my homework.
- be/ feel/ look/ + Adv + Adj I feel completely interested in this book.
- V (thường) + too + Adv He studied too lazily to pass his exam.
- V(thường) + so + Adv + that Jack drove so fast that he caused an accident.
- S + V ( + O) + Adv He drives carefully.
- V (thường) + Adv + enough He worked hard enough to succeed.
- Adv cũng có thể đứng một mình ở đầu câu( hoặc giữa câu giữa hai dấu “,”)
Suddenly, he heard a strange voice.
B Degrees of comparison of Adj and Adv.
1 Equal degree: S + V + as + Adj/ Adv + as + N/ Pronoun.
eg He is as tall as his father / Mai is as beautiful as her mother.
- Có thể thay ‘as’ bằng ‘so’ trong câu phủ định S + Be not + as/so +Adj + as N/ Pronoun.
S + do/ does not +as/so + Adv+
Trang 25eg Your pen is not so expensive as mine.
- Có thể diễn đạt ý bằng nhau, như nhau:
S + V + the same + (noun) + as +noun(pronoun).
eg My house is as high as his = My house is the same height as his.
Marry is as old as Tony = Marry and Tony are the same age.
2 Comparative degree:
a Short Adjectives/ Adverbs: S + V + short Adj/Adv + er + than + Noun/ Pronoun.
eg.- Today is hotter than yesterday.
- He runs faster than I do.
- Tính từ 1 âm tiết tận cùng là phụ âm đơn ( trừ w, x, z) đứng trước một nguyên âm đơn thì gấp đôi
phụ âm cuối + er big-bigger
- Tính từ 2 âm tiết có tận cùng là : y, le, er, ow, et + er quieter, cleverer, narrower
- Tính từ 2 âm tiết nhưng kết thúc bằng một phụ âm +y, đổi ‘y’ thành ‘i’ + er happier.
- So sánh hơn có thể được nhấn mạnh bằng cách cộng thêm ‘much’ hoặc ‘far’.
S + V + far/ much + short.Adj/ Adv + er + than + noun/ pronoun.
eg Today is much hotter than yesterday.
b Long Adjectives/ Adverbs: S + V + more long Adj/ Adv + than + Noun/Pronoun.

- Nhấn mạnh : S + V + far/ much + more + long Adj/ Adv + than + noun/ pronoun.
eg Hoa’s watch is much/ far more expensive than mine.
He reads much more rapidly than his brother.
- So sánh kém hơn: S + V + less Adj/ Adv than noun/ pronoun.
eg My TV is less beautiful than yours.
He drives less carefully than I think.
3.Superlative degree:
S + V + the + short.Adj/Adv + est + in( danh từ đếm được số ít)
+ the most + long Adj/ Adv + of( danh từ đếm được số nhiều)
+ least + Adj/ Adv
eg He is the tallest in my class.
Nga is the most inteligent of all the students.
Those shoes are the least expensive of all.
the best the worst the most the least the farthest(về khoảng cách) the furthest( về thời gian)
Trang 26the nearest(về khoảng cách) the next( về thứ tự)
the latest( về thời gian) the last( về thứ tự) the oldest( về tuổi tác) the eldest( về cấp bậc hơn là tuổi tác)
4 So sánh kép( double comparatives):
a Càng ngày càng, mỗi lúc một hơn.
* Với tính từ ngắn: Adj + ER and Adj + er The weather gets warmer and warmer
* Với tính từ dài: more and more + Adj She becomes more and more beautiful.
b Càng ngày càng ít , càng ngày càng kém : less and less + Adj.
eg He is less and less hard-working.

* Với tính từ dài: The more adj , the more adj

eg The more she smiles, the more graceful she is.
d Càng ít , thì càng ít Càng kém , thì càng kém
* Với tính từ: The less + adj , the less + adj .
eg The less difficult the lessons are, the less hard-working the students.

II Choose the underlined part that needs corrections in each of the following questions.
1 Nobody is happy than Miss Snow is ( happier)
II Noun clauses and relative clauses.
I Noun clauses: - Là một mệnh đề phụ làm công việc của một danh từ.
- Noun clause: được nối với mệnh đề chính bởi các từ nối: That, who, what, which, where, when, how, whether.
- Khi dùng các từ nối trên, động từ trong MĐ danh ngữ chia ở thể xác định, không chia ở thể nghi vấn.
1 Noun clause làm chủ ngữ trong câu:
eg What he said was not true.
2 Noun clause làm tân ngữ trong câu:
eg I’ll tell you when he comes I didn’t believe what he said.
3 Noun clause làm bổ ngữ trong câu:
eg Money is what she needs.
II Relative clauses :
- Còn được gọi là Adj clause (MĐ tính ngữ) vì nó là MĐ phụ được dùng để bổ nghĩa cho danh từ đứng trước nó.
- MĐQH được nối với MĐ chính bởi các đại từ quan hệ Who, Whom, Which, Whose, That hoặc các trạng từ quan hệ When, Where, Why.
- Vị trí : MĐQH đứng ngay sau danh từ mà nó bổ nghĩa.
** THE USES:
1.Who: - là một ĐTQH chỉ người, đứng sau danh từ chỉ người làm chủ ngữ cho động từ đứng sau nó.
eg This is the man He is my teacher – This is the man who is my teacher
The man is my brother He is standing overthere.- The man who is standing overthere is
2 Whom: - là một ĐTQH chỉ người, đứng sau danh từ chỉ người làm tân ngữ cho động từ đứng sau
nó.
eg The woman is my aunt You saw her yesterday.
- The woman whom you saw yesterday is my aunt.
Trang 29- Whom : có thể được bỏ - The woman you saw yesterday is my aunt.
3 Which: là một ĐTQH chỉ vật, đứng sau danh từ chỉ vật làm chủ ngữ hoặc tân ngữ cho động từ đứng
sau nó
eg The hat is mine It’s on the table.
- The hat which is on the table is mine.
eg This is the book You gave it to me yesterday.
- This is the book which you gave me yesterday.
- Which : có thể được bỏ khi nó làm tân ngữ cho động từ sau nó.
eg This is the book you gave me yesterday.
4.That: - là ĐTQH chỉ cả người và vật.
- That có thể dùng thay cho Who, Whom, Which trong MĐQH xác định.
eg That is the car that he bought last month.
5.Whose: là một ĐTQH, đứng sau danh từ chỉ người và thay cho tính từ sở hữu trước danh từ Whose
cũng được dùng cho vật ( = of which) Sau Whose luôn là một danh từ.
eg The woman whose wallet was stolen yesterday is my sister.
6.When: là một trạng từ quan hệ chỉ thời gian, đứng sau danh từ chỉ thời gian.
- When được dùng thay cho at / on / in + which ; then.
eg I’ll never forget the day when I met her.
That was the time when she saw the thief.
7.Where: là một trạng từ quan hệ chỉ nơi chốn, đứng sau danh từ chỉ nơi chốn.
Where được dùng thay cho at / on / in + which; there.
eg That is the house where we are living now.
Your home town is a place where you were you born.
8 Why: = for which - là một trạng từ quan hệ chỉ lý do, đứng sau tiền ngữ ‘ THE REASON’.
- dùng thay cho ‘ FOR THE REASON’.
eg Please tell me the reason why you are so sad.
III Phân loại : có 2 loại relative clauses.
1.Definite clause: (MĐ xác định)
- Là mệnh đề giúp ta nhận ra đặc điểm, tính chất đặc biệt của người hay vật được nói đến.Nếu ta bỏ chúng đi thì câu không đủ nghĩa hoặc không giữ được nghĩa gốc ban đầu.
- Liền ngay trước và sau mệnh đề không có dấu phẩy.
- That có thể thay cho who và which trong mệnh đề loại này.
eg -The man is my teacher He’s standing overthere.
The man who(that) is standing overthere is my teacher.
- The book is very interesting I bought it yesterday.
The book which(that) I bought yesterday is very interesting.
2.Non-defining clause: (MĐ không xác định)
- Mệnh đề này chỉ giải thích thêm danh từ đứng trước nó và có thể bỏ đi mà nghĩa của câu không thay đổi.
- Liền ngay trước và sau mệnh đề có dấu phẩy.
- That không được sử dụng trong câu có mệnh đề loại này.
eg This hat, which my sister gave me on my birthday , is expensive.
Trang 30IV Trường hợp động từ của MĐQH có giới từ( chỉ dùng với who và which).
- Ta đặt giới từ trước MĐQH( trước who, which).
- Ta cũng có thể bỏ whom hoặc which và đặt giới từ ra sau động từ của MĐQH( chỉ áp dụng với MĐ xác định).
- Khi dùng that, ta không được chuyển giới từ lên trước mà vẫn phải để sau động từ.
eg The man is Mr Nam Hoa is talking to him.
The man to whom Hoa is talking is Mr Nam.
The man Hoa is talking to is Mr Nam.
The man that Hoa is talking to is Mr Nam.
- Nếu giới từ là thành phần của động từ kép thì ta không chuyển chúng ra trước
whom, which eg This is the book which I’m looking for.
Nếu chủ ngữ của câu là các đại từ bất định thì ta chỉ dùng That là đại từ quan hệ.
eg Everything that she said yesterday was not correct.
V Dạng rút gọn của MĐQH:
1 MĐQH có thể được rút gọn bằng cách dùng hiện tại phân từ và quá khứ phân từ.
a Nếu động từ trong MĐQH ở thể chủ động, ta dùng hiện tại phân từ thay cho mđ đó(bỏ đại từ quan
hệ và trợ động từ, đưa động từ chính về nguyên dạng và thêm -ing.)
eg The girl sitting next to you is my sister.
Do you know the man breaking the window last night?
b Nếu động từ trong MĐQH ở thể bị động ta dùng quá khứ phân từ thay cho mđ đó( bỏ đại từ quan hệ
và trợ động từ, bắt đầu cụm từ bằng Vpp)
eg The books written by To Hoai are interesting.
2 MĐQH có thể được rút gọn bằng cách dùng‘TO- INF, or INF.PHRASE( for+O+to inf.)
eg.- English is an important language which we have to master.
English is an important language to master.
- Here is a form that you must fill in.
Here is a form for you to fill in.
(Khi một MĐ tính ngữ mà trước nó là một MĐ thì đó là MĐ không xác định.)
