Câu 7:

Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.

Whenever I visited her, my grandmother____________my favorite cake for me.

Xem đáp án

Đáp án A

"Whenever I visited her - Bất cứ khi nào tôi đến thăm bà" => sự việc trong quá khứ

- would + V ~ used to + V: đã từng, đã thường làm gì (thói quen trong quá khứ)

- would + have PP: đã ... rồi (dùng trong câu điều kiện loại 3 hoặc diễn tả một tình huống đã có thể xảy ra trong quá khứ, nhưng thực sự đã không diễn ra)

- have PP: thì hiện tại hoàn thành (diễn tả sự việc đã xảy ra trong quá khứ và kéo dài đến hiện tại)

"Bất cứ khi nào tôi đã đến thăm bà thì bà thường làm món bánh yêu thích cho tôi."

Would - Used to

Would:

- Dùng trong lời nói gián tiếp (Tương lai trong quá khứ) hay dùng trong câu điều kiện như loại 2,3

E.g: He said he would come back the next day.

If he were free, he would meet me.

She would have been very happy if she had passed the exam.

- Dùng để đề nghị, nhờ vả, xin phép, mời mọc

E.g: Would you turn on the TV for me?

Would you mind closing the windows?

- Diễn tả một thói quen trong quá khứ (past habits). Với nghĩa này, Would có thể dùng thay cho used to.

E.g: When we met each other, we would talk a lot.

Would - used to: dùng để diễn đạt hành động lặp lại trong quá khứ (thói quen), nhưng bây giờ không còn nữa

E.g: When I was younger my grandmother would/used to bring us chocolate when she visited.

Nhưng giữa would và used to có sự khác nhau:

- "Would" thường được sử dụng khi có từ/ cụm từ/ mệnh đề chỉ thời gian rõ ràng

E.g: When I was a child, I would watch cartoons every Sunday morning, (used to có thể được dùng trong câu này)

Whenever we went to my aunts house, we would play in the garden. (used to có thể dùng trong câu này)

- 'Used to' có thể được sử dụng để nói về tình trạng trong quá khứ cũng như những thói quen và hành động trong quá khứ được lặp lại, nhưng 'would' chỉ được sử dụng để nói về thói quen trong quá khứ nhưng không được sử dụng để nói về tình trạng trong quá khứ (past States).

E.g: I used to be a player, (không được sử dụng would trong câu này vì đây là tình trạng trong quá khứ, không phải thói quen)

We used to have a car. (không được dùng would)

=> Một số động từ biểu thị trạng thái/ tình trạng (stative verbs) như have (possession), be, live, like, love, believe, think, understand, know, feel thì không được sử dụng Would.


Câu 8:

E.g: She jumped over the fence into the garden. (Cô ta đã nhảy qua hàng rào vào khu vườn.)

"Hôm qua anh ta đã bị thương sau khi nhảy qua bức tường."

- Chúng ta có thể sử dụng across, over và through để nói về một vị trí ở bên kia hoặc đi đến được như bên kia cầu, đường, biên giới, sông... (on the other side of, to the other side of)

E.g: Once he was across/over the border, he knew he would be safe. (Một khi ông ấy qua được biên giới thì ông ấy biết là mình sẽ được an toàn.)

There's a cafe across/over the Street. (Có một quán cà phê bên kia đường.)

- Ta dùng over hơn là across khi nói về việc đến được phía bên kia của vật gì cao, hoặc vật gì có chiều cao lớn hơn bề ngang.

E.g: He jumped across the stream. (Anh ta đã nhảy qua con suối.)

- Khi nói đến vật gì mà chúng ta nghĩ như một mặt phẳng, hoặc một vùng như đất nước hoặc biển thì ta hay dùng across hơn.

E.g: I suddenly saw Mary across the room. (Tôi bỗng nhìn thấy Mary đi ngang qua căn phòng.)

- Ta có thể nói all over (khắp) nhưng thường không nói all across. Thay vào đó ta dùng across/ right across để nhấn mạnh

E.g: The disease has now spread all over/(right) across the world. (Căn bệnh đã lây lan trên khắp cả thế giới.)

- Chúng ta sử dụng through (xuyên qua) để chỉ sự chuyển động trong không gian ba chiều, với những vật xung quanh

- Through chỉ nghĩa qua một thể tích, một khối, một đám nhiều cây cối, như qua rừng (walk through the wood), qua đám đông (through the crowd), qua nhiều thị trấn (drive through several towns).

E.g: He pushed his way through the crowd of people to get to his girlfriend. (Anh ấy len lỏi qua đám đông để đến chỗ bạn gái của mình.)

Câu 31:

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.

Most people have heard of Albert Einstein, but a person who became a friend of his may be less well-known, but she is also a famous scientist. Her name is Marie Curie, who is most known for her work in radiation. She was born in Warsaw, Poland on November 7,1867 where she grew up with her parents and four other children in the family. Marie was also the youngest child. Because both her parents were teachers, Marie learned how to read and write at a very young age. She was intelligent, had an outstanding memory, and worked very hard in school.

As Marie grew older there were tough times for her and the family, but she was able to attend a university after graduating from high school, even though it was not something women did during those times. However, she attended a famous university in Paris, France called the Sorbonne where women were permitted to attend. After just three years at the school she earned a degree in Physics. She loved to learn and had always known she wanted to be a scientist.

In 1894, she married Pierre Curie, also a scientist, and a year later they had their first child, a daughter named Irene. Marriage and motherhood did not stop Marie from her work and research as a scientist. She became interested in x-rays which had been recently discovered. Marie decided to do some experiments with the element uranium, which is given off by the rays.

Her husband, Pierre, joined Marie in her experiments. One day she was examining a material called pitchblende and had expected just a few rays to be given off. Instead, there were many extra rays and Marie realized there must have been an undiscovered element in pitchblende. She and her husband spent many more hours in the lab doing investigations with the new element. They ended up discovering there were two new elements which they discovered, adding them to the periodic table.

Maria named one of the elements polonium after her home country, Poland, and the other she named it radium because it gave off so many strong rays. Marie and Pierre Curie came up with the new term 'radioactivity' too, as well to describe elements that emit strong rays.

In 1903, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to both scientists for their work in radiation, and Marie was also the first woman in history to be awarded the Nobel Prize. She did not stop there though, because in 1911, Marie won another Nobel Prize, this time in chemistry, for discovering the two elements, polonium and radium. Not only was she the first woman, but also the first person ever to be awarded two Nobel Prizes. This made her very famous and scientists all over the world wanted to study radioactivity with Marie. Later, doctors found that radiology could help cure cancer.

Unfortunately, Marie Curie died in 1934 due to overexposure to radiation from the experiments and from the work she did with x-ray machines. Currently, there are many safety precautions that are used preventing scientists from being overexposed to radiation.

In summary, Marie Curie is a famous physicist known for her work with radiation, and also as the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize and to win two Nobel Prizes in her lifetime.

Instead, there were many extra rays and Marie realized there must have been an undiscovered element in pitchblende. She and her husband spent many more hours in the lab doing investigations with the new element. They ended up discovering there were two new elements which they discovered, adding them to the periodic table.

Maria named one of the elements polonium after her home country, Poland, and the other she named it radium because it gave off so many strong rays. Marie and Pierre Curie came up with the new term 'radioactivity' too, as well to describe elements that emit strong rays.

In 1903, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to both scientists for their work in radiation, and Marie was also the first woman in history to be awarded the Nobel Prize. She did not stop there though, because in 1911, Marie won another Nobel Prize, this time in chemistry, for discovering the two elements, polonium and radium. Not only was she the first woman, but also the first person ever to be awarded two Nobel Prizes. This made her very famous and scientists all over the world wanted to study radioactivity with Marie. Later, doctors found that radiology could help cure cancer.

Unfortunately, Marie Curie died in 1934 due to overexposure to radiation from the experiments and from the work she did with x-ray machines. Currently, there are many safety precautions that are used preventing scientists from being overexposed to radiation.

In summary, Marie Curie is a famous physicist known for her work with radiation, and also as the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize and to win two Nobel Prizes in her lifetime.

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.

Most people have heard of Albert Einstein, but a person who became a friend of his may be less well-known, but she is also a famous scientist. Her name is Marie Curie, who is most known for her work in radiation. She was born in Warsaw, Poland on November 7,1867 where she grew up with her parents and four other children in the family. Marie was also the youngest child. Because both her parents were teachers, Marie learned how to read and write at a very young age. She was intelligent, had an outstanding memory, and worked very hard in school.

As Marie grew older there were tough times for her and the family, but she was able to attend a university after graduating from high school, even though it was not something women did during those times. However, she attended a famous university in Paris, France called the Sorbonne where women were permitted to attend. After just three years at the school she earned a degree in Physics. She loved to learn and had always known she wanted to be a scientist.

In 1894, she married Pierre Curie, also a scientist, and a year later they had their first child, a daughter named Irene. Marriage and motherhood did not stop Marie from her work and research as a scientist. She became interested in x-rays which had been recently discovered. Marie decided to do some experiments with the element uranium, which is given off by the rays.

Her husband, Pierre, joined Marie in her experiments. One day she was examining a material called pitchblende and had expected just a few rays to be given off.

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.

Annie Oakley, an intriguing figure in American entertainment, was a markswoman who starred in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, where she was often called "Little Sure Shot". She was born in 1860 in Darke County, Ohio, and her original name was Phoebe Ann Moses. As a child, she hunted game with such success that, according to legend, by selling it in Cincinnati, Ohio, she was able to pay off the mortgage on the family farm. When she was 15 she won a shooting match in Cincinnati with Frank E. Butler, a vaudeville marksman, and they were married a year later.

For the next ten years they toured the country and performed in theaters and circuses as "Butler and Oakley." In April 1885, Annie Oakley, now under her husband's management, joined "Buffalo Bill" Cody's Wild West Show. Billed as "Miss Annie Oakley, the Peerless Lady Wing- Shot," she was one of the show's star attractions for sixteen years.

Oakley never failed to delight her audiences, and her feats of marksmanship were truly incredible. At 30 paces she could split a playing card held edge-on, and she hit dimes tossed into the air. She shot cigarettes from her husband's lips, and, when he threw a playing card into the air, she would shoot it full of holes before it touched the ground. She was a great success on the Wild West Show's European trips.

In 1887, she was presented to Queen Victoria, and later in Berlin she performed her cigarette trick with, at his insistence, Crown Prince Wilhelm (later Kaiser Wilhelm II) holding the cigarette. A train wreck in 1901 left her partially paralyzed for a time, but she recovered and returned to the stage to amaze audiences for many more years.
