Đây là đề thi cấp tỉnh lớp 9 của Thanh Hóa năm 2010 Cuộc thi nào rồi cũng có tiêu cực. Đây là một cái đề rất khó. Thực lòng mà nói, ngay bản thân tôi là một giáo viên tạm gọi là có chất, tương đối mà làm cũng mới được 18 điểm. Vậy mà có rất nhiều học sinh năm 2010 làm được nhiều hơn thế. Tôi nghĩ đó chỉ có thể là tiêu cực. Ngay người ra đề, nếu một tháng sau cho làm lại cái đề này, họ cũng không thể làm được 20 điểm, tôi chắc chắn như thế. Hơn nữa đề vẫn còn một số chỗ sai do bất cẩn của người ra đề. Tôi post lên để bạn nào có cần cho học sinh làm thử thì down về nhé. kú thi häc sinh giái cÊp tØnh N¨m häc 2009 - 2010 Question 1: Part a- Choose the word that has the underlined part pronounced differently from the rest: 1.
