Phần 3: ĐỌC HIỂU
1. BÀI TẬP ĐỌC HIỂU DẠNG CHỌN TỪ ĐIỀN VÀO CHỖ TRỐNG

Bài tập chọn từ điền vào chỗ trống là dạng bài tổng hợp nhiều dạng kiến thức về ngữ pháp,
từ
vựng, cấu trúc… mà học sinh đã được học trong cả bậc học. Để làm tốt dạng bài này
cần lưu ý những điểm sau:
1. Phân bi ệ t các từ đ ồ ng nghĩa ho ặ c g ầ n nghĩa

Đây cũng chính là câu hỏi có thể kiểm tra về độ thành thạo của học sinh trong
quá trình sử dụng ngôn ngữ. Tiếng Anh có rất nhiều từ đồng nghĩa hoặc gần
nghĩa, chúng tương đồng về nghĩa và có thể thay thế cho nhau trong một số trường
hợp. Tuy nhiên, chúng khác nhau về sắc thái ý nghĩa, mức độ phổ biến,mức độ trang trọn
g cũng
10
như cấu trúc sử dụng. Nên trong nhiều trường hợp ta không thể thay thế chúng cho nhau
được. Nhiệm vụ của học sinh là nhận ra sự khác biệt giữa chúng để chọn từ điền cho chính
xác
và hợp lý nhất.
Hãy xem ví dụ sau:
I _____ the orchestra play at Carnegie Hall last summer.
A. heard B. tasted C. smelled D. listened
Trong 4 phương án, ta có thể loại trừ ngay phương án B và C vì ta không thể nếm hoặc
ngửi thấy nhạc
được. Với hai phương án còn lại, các em cần phân biệt sự khác nhau giữa hear và listen
Về nghĩa, hear có nghĩa là nghe thoáng qua, nghe mà chưa có sự chuẩn bị hoặc chủ ý
trước khi
nghe. Trong khi đó, listen lại có nghĩa là nghe một cách tập trung và có ý định chú ý nghe t
ừ trước.
Về cấu trúc, hear là một động từ chỉ tri giác nên đi sau nó là tân ngữ + động từ nguyê
n mẫu khôngto Tuy nhiên, động từ listen lại luôn đi kèm giới từ to và theo sau là tân ngữ (l
isten to sth).
Xét về mặt nghĩa và cấu trúc thì heard là thích hợp để điền vào câu trên, listened không th

ể thay thế được.
2. Xác đ ị nh nghĩa c ủ a t ừ d ự a vào văn c ả nh (context)

Khi làm bài, các em phải đọc kỹ đoạn văn, đặc biệt là các phần trước và sau chỗ trống c
ần điền chọntừ thích hợp. Bởi vì phương án được lựa chọn nằm trong tổng thể của cả đo
ạn. Ví dụ:
Tigers are rare in India now because we have killed too many for them. However, it isn’
t simple enough
to talk about the problem. We must act now before it is too late to do _____ about it.
A. nothing B. something C. everything D. anything
Về nguyên tắc, tất cả các phương án trên đều có thể dùng được với động từ do. Tuy nhi
ên, dựa
vào ngữcảnh của đoạn văn ta có thể thấy rằng tình hình bảo vệ động vật hoang
dã đang ở tình trạng đáng báo
động và chúng ta cần hành động ngay để cứu những loài vật đang có nguycơ tuyệt chủn
g.
Cấu trúc too + tính từ + to sth có nghĩa là quá… đến nỗi không thể xác
định.Trong khi đó, something và everything dùng trong câu không phù hợp về nghĩa
nên loại hai phương án này.
Nothing(không có gì) là từ mang nghĩa phủ định và khi đi với do trong câu trên cũng có
nghĩa phù hợp. Tuy nhiên,bản thân cấu trúc với too đã mang nghĩa phủ định nên
không thể kết hợp với từ mang nghĩa phủ định trongcùng một câu nên nothing cũng bị l
oại. Anything
là từ được dùng trong câu phủ định tuy nhiên từ này còn có nghĩa bất cứ cái gì
nên thích hợp để dùng trong câu có cấu trúc too ở trên.
11
3. Sử dụng cụm từ cố định
Tiếng Anh có rất nhiều cụm từ cố định. Có những động từ chỉ đi với một loại giới từ nh
ất định, và cũngcó những động từ khi kết hợp với một (một số) giới từ lại mang nghĩa k
hác với gốc động từ đó. Người rađề có thể để khuyết động từ hoặc giới từ để

kiểm tra mảng kiến thức này của học sinh. Khi làm bài, cácem không nên chỉ tìm
nghĩa của từ đơn lẻ mà cần đặt chúng trong mối quan hệ với các từ xung quanh.
Ví dụ :
1. Mobiles that are fitted permanently in a vehicle do not _____ on separate batteries. T
hey require an external aerial on the vehicle.
A. rely B. create C. carry D. insist
Giải thích: create bị loại vì không có cấu trúc create on sth. Các động từ còn lại đều có t
hể kết hợp vớion: to insist on sth: khăng khăng, cố nài làm gì đó; to carry on sth: xúc tiế
n, tiếp tục; to rely on sth: dựa vào, cậy vào, nhờ vào.
Exercise: Read the pasage and circle the best corect answer.

water is usable, and we use it over and over again.

weight will probably be different during racing season when you're in a specific training
phase.
