Tiếng Anh (English ˈɪŋɡlɪʃ) là một ngôn ngữ German Tây, được nói từ thời sơ kỳ Trung cổ tại Anh và nay là lingua franca toàn cầu.45 Từ English bắt nguồn từ Angle, một trong các bộ tộc German đã di cư đến Anh (mà chính từ Angle lại đến từ bán đảo Anglia (Angeln) bên biển Balt). Tiếng Anh có quan hệ gần gũi với các ngôn ngữ Frisia, nhưng vốn từ vựng đã được ảnh hưởng đáng kể bởi các ngôn ngữ German khác, cũng như tiếng Latinh và các ngôn ngữ Rôman, nhất là tiếng PhápNorman.6 Tiếng Anh đã phát triển trong quãng thời gian hơn 1.400 năm. Dạng cổ nhất của tiếng Anh một tập hợp các phương ngữ AngloFrisia được mang đến đảo Anh bởi người AngloSaxon vào thế kỷ thứ V được gọi là tiếng Anh cổ. Thời tiếng Anh trung đại bắt đầu vào cuối thế kỷ XI khi người Norman xâm lược Anh; đây là thời kỳ tiếng Anh được ảnh hưởng bởi tiếng PhápNorman.7 Thời tiếng Anh cận đại bắt đầu vào cuối thế kỷ XV với sự xuất hiện của máy in ép ở Luân Đôn và Kinh Thánh Vua James, và sự khởi đầu của Great Vowel Shift.8 Nhờ ảnh hưởng toàn cầu của Đế quốc Anh, tiếng Anh hiện đại lan rộng ra toàn thế giới trong thời gian từ thế kỷ XVII đến giữa thế kỷ XX. Qua tất cả các loại truyền thông in ấn và điện tử, cũng như sự nổi lên của Hoa Kỳ như một siêu cường, tiếng Anh trở thành ngôn ngữ dẫn đầu trong giao tiếp quốc tế, là lingua franca ở nhiều khu vực và ở nhiều phạm vi chuyên biệt như khoa học, hàng hải và luật pháp.9 Tiếng Anh là bản ngữ lớn thứ ba trên thế giới, sau tiếng Quan thoại và tiếng Tây Ban Nha.10 Đây là ngôn ngữ thứ hai được học nhiều nhất và là ngôn ngữ chính thức của gần 60 quốc gia có chủ quyền. Ngôn ngữ này có nhiều người nói như ngôn ngữ thứ hai và ngoại ngữ hơn người bản ngữ. Tiếng Anh là ngôn ngữ phổ biến nhất ở Vương quốc Liên hiệp Anh và Bắc Ireland, Hoa Kỳ, Canada, Úc, Cộng hòa Ireland và New Zealand, và được nói rộng rãi ở một số khu vực tại Caribe, châu Phi và Nam Á.11 Đây là ngôn ngữ đồng chính thức của Liên Hiệp Quốc, của Liên minh châu Âu và của nhiều tổ chức quốc tế và khu vực khác. Đây là ngôn ngữ German phổ biến nhất, chiếm ít nhất 70% số người nói của ngữ tộc này. Khối từ vựng tiếng Anh rất lớn, và việc xác định gần chính xác số từ cũng là điều không thể.1213 Ngữ pháp tiếng Anh hiện đại là kết quả của sự thay đổi dần dần từ một ngôn ngữ với sự biến tố hình thái đa dạng và cấu trúc câu tự do, thành một ngôn ngữ mang tính phân tích với chỉ một ít biến tố, có cấu trúc SVO cố định và cú pháp phức tạp.14 Tiếng Anh hiện đại dựa trên trợ động từ và thứ tự từ để diễn đạt hệ thống thì, thể và thức, cũng như sự bị động, nghi vấn và một số trường hợp phủ định. Dù có sự khác biệt đáng chú ý về giọng và phương ngữ theo vùng miền và quốc gia – ở các mặt ngữ âm và âm vị, cũng như từ vựng, ngữ pháp và chính tả – người nói tiếng Anh trên toàn thế giới có thể giao tiếp tương đối dễ dàng.

the world Recently, he said that he would give $100 million to help people in India who have HIV virus The Indian government was unhappy about this, however It said that Mr Gates' gift would make panic in India because people would think that the problem of HIV/AIDS in India was getting worse Mr Gates was not worried by this reaction, however "There is a big, big problem with AIDS in India," he said "And we have seen in other country what happens with AIDS if you don't take early actions." While he was being in India, he visited an AIDS hospice in Delhi Early, the Indian government said that it was very unhappy with a report who predicted that 20 million to 25 million Indians would probably have the virus by 2010 The report also said that India would soon be the country with the largest number AIDS cases On the moment, South Africa has most cases of AIDS in the world A new, shocked report says that Eurasia - India, China and Russia will soon have the same kind of AIDS pandemic that is destroying subSaharan Africa MISTAKE CORRECTION LINE MISTAKE CORRECTION SECTION D: READING COMPREHENSION I Read the following text and choose the best answer for the questions below Write your answer in the space provided Drunken driving, sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder, has become a national epidemic Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past decade A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.01 blood alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American macho image and judges were lenient in most court, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18 After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18 - 20-year-old drivers was more than double, so the state recently upped it back to 21 Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programmes to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks A tavern in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously intoxicated” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, what President Hoover called the “noble experiment” They forget that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no solution Drunken driving has become a major problem in America because _ A most Americans are heavy drinkers C accidents attract so much publicity B Americans are now less shocked by road accidents D drinking is a socially accepted habit in America The word “macho” in the passage mostly means A “behaving in a way that is traditionally typical of strong and brave men” B “showing extreme courage and admired by many people” C “dealing with danger, pain, or difficulty with courage and confidence” D “feeling that one is better and more important than other people” Statistics issued in New Jersey suggested that _ A many drivers were not of legal age C the level of drinking increased in the 1960s B young drivers were often bad drivers D the legal drinking age should be raised All of the following statements are true EXCEPT A laws recently introduced in some states have resulted in fewer serious accidents B twenty states raised the legal drinking age to 21 in 1960s C reformers think educational programmes should be instituted to help young people D some Americans speak highly of the 13 years of national prohibition of alcohol The problem of drinking and driving is difficult to solve mainly because A alcohol is easily obtained C legal prohibition has already failed B drinking is linked to organized crime D legislation alone is not sufficient II Read the following article Five parts of sentence have been removed from it Choose the most suitable part of sentence from the list A-G (in the box) for each numbered blank There are two parts of sentence you not need to use WORLD ISSUES Over the past thirty years or so, the methods used for collecting money from the public to aid the developing world have changed out of all recognition, (1) , and the increasing awareness among the population that something must be done At the beginning of this period, it would be common to put money in a collecting box, perhaps on the street or at church, or to receive a small “flag” to wear in a lapel The 1960s saw the development of shops (2) , donated by the public, and which also began to sell articles manufactured in the developing world in projects set up by the parents charity, to guarantee a fair income to local people The next development was probably the charity event, (3) to run, cycle, swim, etc and collected money from friends and relatives according to how far or long they managed to keep going The first hint of what was to become the most successful means of raising money was charity record, where the artists donated their time and talent, and the process from sales went to a good cause This was perhaps a reflection of the fact that young people felt increasingly concerned about the obvious differences between life in Europe and the United States, and that in most of Africa and Asia, (4) , besides being clearly shown on television The problems were becoming hard to avoid, (5) Why was so little being done?
