American music, in most of its various forms, can be traced back to the music of the earliest African- Americans Even though these Americans came here under the worst of circumstances, they still brought with them traditions, and developed new traditions of their own, that have grown into what is recognized around the world today as American music

Musicians, like other artists, are usually quick to give credit where credit is due Just as a writer quotes his sources, a musician credits those musicians who inspired him In the case of the early African - Americans that is not always easy Many of the slaves who brought musical traditions from Africa will never be known by name No one wrote their history Many of the slaves who sang work songs in the fields will never be known by name No one wrote their history either

However, there is a lot that we do know.

The first well-recognized form of African-American music was spirituals Spirituals are religious songs They are songs that tell a story or express emotions Spirituals have a strong rhythm They are often sung by a group, sometimes with a leader who sings a line or two alone and a chorus that sings the refrain Spirituals originated in the Southern United States Spirituals sung by slaves often

expressed the hope for freedom that was so important in their lives Well know spirituals include "Go Down Moses," "Deep River, " and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot."

After slavery ended, spirituals began to spread to other parts of the United States Harry Thacker Burleigh was one of the first singers to perform spirituals on stage in a concert Marian Anderson, well known for her classical singing, helped spirituals to gain a wider audience too Spirituals

influenced the development of another well-known form of American music - the blues

The blues were a more individual style of music than spirituals Blues were often sung solo, and sometimes they were accompanied by guitar music As the name suggests, the blues were often about sadness and facing troubles However, the blues could also be funny, positive, and even defiant One blues singer, loved for her strong, beautiful voice, was Bessie Smith Another early blues musician

was w C Handy Handy was not only a musician, he also wrote music, promoted concerts, and

published blues songs

During the time that the blues were spreading across the country, another style of music was also quickly gaining in popularity Ragtime was energetic music with a complicated, syncopated beat Often played on the piano, ragtime was the latest and most sophisticated in American popular music The best-known ragtime musician was probably Scott Joplin, who wrote many hit ragtime pieces for the piano including "Maple Leaf Rag ”

Eventually, elements from all of these forms of music and more came back together In their own kind of melting pot, African rhythms, slave work songs, spirituals, blues, ragtime, and other

influences recombined to form the beginnings of that truly American art form - jazz In the late 1800’s jazz was just beginning, but not long after the turn of the century, it would be the most popular American music It would go on from there to worldwide popularity Jazz would branch out into many forms, and it would influence future styles of American music

Many musicians today credit earlier musicians such as Scott Joplin or Bessie Smith with inspiring their music It’s a shame that they can’t also name the earliest African-Americans who really began the traditions that led to the American music of today

 Contribute (đóng góp)

Cấu trúc “to gain something”: đạt được điều gì không phù hợp với cấu trúc đề bài phải đi với giới từ

“to” Đáp án B và C không họp nghĩa, đọc sách để mở mang tri thức, tác giả không đề cập tới ý sách giúp ôn tập hay thu lượm kiến thức

Đáp án D hợp lý vì theo cấu trúc “to contribute to”: đóng góp vào.

Question 2: Chọn B

Tạm dịch: _ up some of the interestingly informative books and search for well-researched

Question 3: Chọn B

Tạm dịch: That is _interesting point of view:

Đây là quan điểm thú vị

A a B An C the D X

Loại ngay đáp án A vì intersting bắt đầu bằng nguyên âm, không thể đi với "a" Vì “point of view” lần đầu được nhãc tới nên dùng “the” không hợp lý, tiếp tục loại đáp án C Không thể không sử dụng mạo

từ trong trường hợp này, loại D

Vậy chọn đáp án B là hợp lý

 Inhale (hít vào)

 Breathe (hít thở)

 Eat (ăn)

Đối với tân ngữ lả “khối lượng lớn thông tin” thì ta không đì với động từ ăn, hít vào hay hít thờ

“Digest” có nghĩa là tiêu hóa Ngoài ra khi nói tới việc tiếp thu một lượng kiến thức lớn thì chúng ta cũng sử dụng “digest”

Question 6: Chọn B

Không cần “ the” trước cấu trúc “ at home” Bố mẹ của Thomas và vụ cướp đã xác định nên phải có quán từ “the” phía trước

Question 7: Chọn C

Cấu trúc to prefer to do something kết hợp với bị động với động từ to V: V1 + to be P2

Question 14: Chọn A

 Narrow -minded: báo thú

Question 15: Chọn B

A check up: kiểm tra sức khỏe định kì

Question 16: Chọn D

Hai cấu trúc speak to và talk to đều đúng Nhưng ta có thể thấy là trong đề bài không có "to" và cả 2 đáp án A và C đều cũng không có "to"

Đáp án chính xác nhất phải là D addressing, cấu trúc to address somebody là xưng hô với ai, gọi ai

When addressing a European (=when you address a European), we should stick to the last name unless he suggests that we use his first name

Question 17: Chọn B

“No, thanks” thường được sử dụng để từ chổi một lời mời Trong các đáp án chỉ có đáp án A và B là lời mời Tuy nhiên đáp án A sử dụng từ “want” không được lịch sự Mặt khác, Care for = like Do đó
