differences in pronunciation, structure and vocabulary, would recognize that they are allspeaking the same basic language.

Question 1. A. language B. languages C. linguistics D. linguist

<b>ĐÁP ÁN</b>

<b>Question 1. Key: A. language Giải thích: Chỗ trống cần điền là một danh từ tương ứng</b>

với English ở vế trước nên ta phải chọn danh từ số ít. Khoảng 350 triệu người nói tiếngAnh là ngơn ngữ thứ nhất của họ (chứ không phải nhà ngôn ngữ của họ) nên language làđáp án đúng.

<b>Question 2. Key: C. as Giải thích: to use sth as sth: dùng cái gì như cái gì. Chỉ có từ as</b>

có thể được điền vào chỗ trống để tạo thành cấu trúc đúng.

<b>Question 3. Key: D. of Giải thích: the language of sth: ngơn ngữ trong lĩnh vực gì. Chỉ</b>

có giới từ of khi ghép với danh từ language mới tạo thành cấu trúc đúng trong câu trên.

<b>Question 4. Key: B. printed Giải thích: spoken: nói, printed: in, sold: bán, taken: lấy.</b>

Newspapers là báo in trên giấy nên printed là đáp án đúng.

<b>Question 5. Key: C. many Giải thích: Ta thấy rằng đứng sau chỗ trống cần điền là danh</b>

từ số nhiều others nên much và an bị loại. Mặt khác, câu này và câu trước khơng hề có ýso sánh nên more cũng không hợp lý. Đáp án đúng ở đây là many.
