Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.

The concept of traffic-free shopping areas goes back a long time. During the Middle Ages, traffic- free shopping areas known as souks were built in Middle Eastern countries to allow people to shop in comfort and safety. As far back as 2,000 years ago, road traffic was banned from central Rome during the day to allow for the free movement of pedestrians, and was only allowed in at night when shops and markets had closed for the day.

The modern, traffic-free shopping street was born in Europe in the 1960s, when both city populations and car ownership increased rapidly. Dirty exhaust fumes from cars and the risks involved in crossing the road were beginning to make shopping an unpleasant and dangerous experience. Many believed the time was right for experimenting with car-free streets, and shopping areas seemed the best place to start.

At first, there was resistance from shopkeepers. They believed that such a move would be bad for business. They argued that people would avoid streets if they were unable to get to them in their cars. When the first streets in Europe were closed to traffic, there were even noisy demonstrations as many shopkeepers predicted they would lose customers.

However, research carried out afterwards in several European cities revealed some unexpected statistics. In Munich, Cologne and Hamburg, visitors to shopping areas increased by 50 percent. On Copenhagen’s main shopping street, shopkeepers reported sales increases of 25-40 percent. Shopkeepers in Minneapolis, USA, were so impressed when they learnt this that they even offered to pay for the construction and maintenance costs of their own traffic-free streets.

With the arrival of the traffic–free shopping street, many shops, especially those selling things like clothes, food and smaller luxury items, prospered. Unfortunately, it wasn’t good news for everyone, as shops selling furniture and larger electrical appliances actually saw their sales drops. Many of these were forced to move elsewhere, away from the city centre. Today they are a common feature on the outskirts of towns and cities, often situated in out- of-town retail zones with their own car parks and other local facilities.

                                                        (Adapted from Complete IELTS Band 4-5 by Rawdon Wyatt)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.

Times are tough. The nightly news is filled with stories of people who have lost their jobs due to the economic crisis, or lost their homes in a fire or natural disaster. Have you ever seen people who have just endured an awful situation? Some focus on what they have lost, and this is easy to understand. But other people focus on what they did not lose, and they start thinking about a better future.

One good piece of advice to remember is that you cannot always control situations or other people. The only thing you can control is your own personal reaction to bad situations. Sometimes a situation may really be overwhelming. However, in many cases, you really can influence our own moods by the way you think about negative situations.

Imagine two families: Both have lost their homes and all their belongings in a devastating storm. One family cannot mask their grief. They feel that everything they hold dear has been destroyed. They cannot imagine how they will ever be able to replace things and start over again. Their normal life seems to have been completely lost. In contrast, a second family is crying with joy. All of the people in their family are unharmed and safe. This family is just happy that everyone has survived. This family is already trying to figure out how they can recover. You can’t really blame the first family for experiencing a very normal reaction to a terrible situation. However, the second family certainly seems to be better off. They are thinking about making progress rather than focusing on the tragic events. 

Though this scenario is extreme, everyone experiences setbacks that seem just awful at the time. This could be a job loss, illness, or problems with family members. Nobody gets through life without having some bad things happen. In these situations, try to focus on the steps you can take to remedy the situation, instead of how awful the setback is. By doing this, you will be laying the foundation for a better tomorrow. And you will not suffer as much pain today.

Actually, controlling how you feel and trying to maintain a positive attitude can help you through many tough situations. The bottom line is, no matter what the problem is, you are more likely to fix it if you can stay positive and work out a plan. Also, never be afraid to seek help when you need it. The advice of a friend, family member, or even a professional may be all it takes to get back on track. 

It may sound like a cliché. While a positive attitude may not be the answer to every problem, it can certainly give you an advantage in surviving most of life’s minor setbacks.

C. as long as: miễn là 

D. after : sau khi

Tạm dịch: Chúng tôi sẽ chuẩn bị mọi thứ trước khi cuộc họp bắt đầu

Question 13. Đáp án B

Đáp án B - câu hỏi mệnh đề phân từ

Hai mệnh đề trước và sau cách nhau bởi dấu phẩy nhưng không có liên từ nối nên chắc chắn câu ghép này dùng phân từ để nối hai mệnh đề. Từ đó, đáp án D (động từ nguyên thể) bị loại.

Động từ “receive” là ngoại động từ (phải có tân ngữ theo sau). Trong câu này, đề bài cho danh từ “the Nobel Prize” đứng sau chỗ trống làm tân ngữ cho “receive” nên “receive” sẽ được để ở dạng phân từ chủ động. Vậy nên, đáp án A và C (bị động) bị loại. Chỉ còn lại đáp án B (phân từ hoàn thành - chủ động) đúng.

Tạm dịch: Sau khi nhận được giải Nobel, ông ấy từ bỏ sự nghiệp chính trị về nghỉ hưu

* Mở rộng: Mệnh đề phân từ thường được tạo nên bởi các phân từ chủ động (V-ing hoặc P₁), hoặc phân từ bị động (P₂). Tuy nhiên, có thể gặp “Having + phân từ”. Trường hợp này dùng để diễn tả ý rằng hành động ở mệnh đề phân từ xảy ra trước hành động ở mệnh đề chính. Ví dụ như câu 7, đáp án B đúng và có ý rằng: Việc nhận giải Nobel xảy ra trước việc nghỉ hưu.

Question 14.B

Đáp án B - câu hỏi từ loại

“Because of” (bởi vì) là giới từ chỉ nguyên nhân. Sau giới từ là Noun hoặc V-ing.

Trong câu đã cho danh từ (noun) là “accidents”, vậy trước “accidents” cần có một tính từ (adj) để bổ sung thông tin cho danh từ đó. Vậy nên ta chọn B - tragic (là tính từ).

A.tragedy (n): bi kịch/ sự thảm khốc

B. tragic (a): thảm khốc

C. tragically (adv): một cách thảm khốc

D. tragedies (n):  danh từ số nhiều của đáp án A.

Tạm dịch: Rất nhiều phi hành gia không bao giờ quay trở lại trái đất nguyên nhân do những tai nạn thảm khốc.

* Mở rộng: Ngoài “because of”, còn có “due to”, “thanks to”, “owing to”, và “out of” là các giới từ chỉ nguyên nhân

Question 15. C

Kiến thức : cụm động từ

Ta loại được A, B, D vì không hợp nghĩa.

A. taken away (ph.v): lấy đi, đem đi

B. got over (ph.v): vượt qua

C. turned down (ph.v): bác bỏ, khước từ

D. turned off (ph.v): tắt (điện)

Tạm dịch. Tôi nộp đơn xin việc nhưng đã bị từ chối.
