Bitcoins are a form of virtual currency. In other words, they are a type of money that does not exist in the actual world. However, they can be used to purchase actual products and services from real companies. The bitcoin system was created in 2009 by an enigmatic person named Satoshi Nakamoto. In fact, no one is sure if Satoshi Nakamoto is an actual person or a group of people. Bitcoins are designed to serve as an alternative to national currencies, such as dollars and euros. They can be used to pay for things instead of cash or credit cards, when bitcoins are transferred from a buyer to a seller, the transaction is recorded in a public database. Governments are concerned that bitcoins can easily be stolen by hackers. It has dawned on them that they might be used for illegal purposes. For example, stolen goods could be purchased without the government’s knowledge. Although more and more companies are beginning to accept bitcoins, the percentage of purchases made using bitcoins is minuscule compared to other online payment methods, such as credit cards. Instead, many bitcoin owners simply keep them as an investment since more valuable in the future. This may or may not be a wise approach. Currently, the value of bitcoins is fluctuating wildly, especially when compared to highly stable national currencies, Bitcoin Investors are gambling on the hope that as this high-tech money becomes more widely accepted, its value will soar.

Public Database Trang 5 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 following questions. WHY DON’T YOU GET A PROPER JOB? She wants to be a singer; you think she should go for a long-term career with job security and eventually retire with a good pension. But a new report suggests that in fact she’s the practical one. Why do parents make terrible careers advisers? Today’s 14 and 15-year-olds are ambitious. They are optimistic about their prospects, but their career ideas are rather vague. Although 80% of them have no intention of following in their parents’ footsteps, 69% still turn to their parents for advice. They look at their working future in a different way to their parents. A job for life is not in their vocabulary; neither is a dead-end but secure job that is boring but pays the bills. Almost half the boys surveyed expected that their hobbies would lead them into the right sort of job, while most girls seemed determined to avoid traditionally female careers such as nursing. In the past, this might have counted as bad news. Certainly when I was 15, my guidance counsellors were horrified at my plans to become a writer. I’m glad I didn’t change my plans to suit them. Even so, their faith in rigid career paths was well-founded. In those days, that was the way to get ahead. But the world has changed. The global economy is not kind to yesterday’s diligent and dependable worker. The future belongs to quick-thinking people who are resourceful, ambitious and can take the initiative. This means that a 14-year-old who sees her working future as a kind of adventure, to be made up as she goes along is not necessarily being unrealistic. However, she has to have the training and guidance to help her develop the right skills for today’s market; not the rigid preparation for a workplace that disappeared twenty years ago. Many young people are very aware of the pitfalls of the flexible workplace; they understand that redundancy, downsizing and freelancing are all part of modern working life, but no one is telling them how they might be able to turn the new rules of the employment game to their advantage. This is what they need to know if they are to make a life for themselves. So what is to be done? A good first step would be to change the way in which schools prepare young people for adult life. The education system is becoming less flexible and more obsessed with traditional skills at just the time that the employment market is going in the opposite direction. Accurate, up-to-date information on new jobs and qualifications can help guidance counsellors to help their students. Young people need solid information on the sort of training they need to pursue the career of their dreams. Also, a little bit of encouragement can go a long way. If nothing else, a bit of optimism from an adult can serve as an antidote to the constant criticism of teenagers in the press. What, then, can we as parents do to help them? The best thing is to forget all the advice that your parents gave you, and step into your teenagers shoes. Once you’ve done that, it’s easier to see how important it is that they learn how to be independent, resourceful and resilient. Give them the courage Trang 6 to follow their dreams -however odd they might sound right now. In a world that offers economic security to almost no one, imagination is a terrible thing to waste. Question 43. What is the writer’s attitude to the changing job market? A. It is a challenge that must be faced. B. It had made too many people unemployed. C. It is something that young people are afraid of. D. It has had a negative effect on education. Question 44. How does the writer think the global economy has affected the employment market? A. Workers have to be willing to change jobs. B. Workers are unlikely to receive a pension. C. It has made workers less dependable. D. It has made work more adventurous. Question 45. The writer uses the phrase “aware of the pitfalls” to show that young people___________ A. feel that modern jobs are too flexible B. know about the problems of modern jobs C. don’t think they get enough training D. accept that they will be made redundant Question 46. What kind of employment would teenagers like to have? A. A job similar to their parents. B. A job that gives them fulfillment. C. A job that can also be a hobby. D. A job with economic security. Question 47. The writer feels that most parents___________ A. give their children good career advice B. do not tend to be particularly ambitious C. have very traditional views about work D. have realistic goals for their children Question 48. How can parents help their children? A. By trying to think the way they do B. By learning to be courageous C. By ignoring advice given by others D. By becoming more independent Question 49. what does the writer believe about her guidance counsellors? A. That they should have treated her better. B. That the advice they gave was wrong C. That they were in some ways right. D. That they had tried to ruin her career. Question 50. What does the writer feel will happen if the education system does not change? A. Young people will be discouraged from working. B. Young people will receive mover criticism in the press, C. Young people will be unable to fulfill their potential. D. Young people will not be optimistic about their future. Đáp án Trang 7 1-D 11-A 21-C 31-A 41-C 2-A 12-D 22-A 32-C 42-A 3-B 13-D 23-C 33-D 43-A 4-D 14-A 24-D 34-C 44-D 5-D 15-B 25-D 35-D 45-B 6-C 16-B 26-D 36-C 46-B 7-A 17-C 27-A 37-A 47-B 8-A 18-D 28-C 38-A 48-A 9-C 19-D 29-B 39-D 49-C 10-B 20-C 30-A 40-B 50-B LỜI GIẢI CHI TIẾT Question 1: Đáp án D Đáp án D đúng vì phần gạch chân của đáp án D được đọc là /eɪdʒ/.

Đáp án A Đáp án A đúng vì phân gạch chân của đáp án A được đọc là âm /z/. Các phương án còn lại ph ần g ạch chân được đọc là /iz/. A. clothes /kləʊðz/ (pl.n): quần áo B. bosses /bɒsiz/ (n)/(v)/(adj): ông chủ (n) / chỉ huy (v) / giỏi, xuất sắc (adj) C. boxes /bɒksiz/ (n)Z(v): cái hộp (n) / bỏ vào hộp (v) D. couches /kaʊtʃiz/ (n)/(v): ghế dài (n) / nằm dài ra, diễn tả (v) * Note: Chúng ta cần nhớ lại cách phát âm đuôi -s/es: -s/-es được phát âm là: /s/ llll /z/ Khi tận cùng của từ là: Ví dụ Các phụ âm vô thanh: /k/, /e/, /θ/, stops, laughs, accepts, months /p/, /t/ kisses, washes, matches, changes, Các âm: /s/, /z/, /ʃ/, /ʒ/,/tʃ/,/ /dʒ/ buzzes, bosses, boxes, couches (chính là 3 phương án trong đề bài) Các âm hữu thanh còn lại styles, intends, orphans Question 3.

A. desert /ˈdezət/ (n)/(v): sa mạc (n) / bỏ đi(v) B. dessert /dɪˈzɜːt/ (n): món tráng miệng C. centre /ˈsentə(r)/ (n): trung tâm D. circle /ˈsɜːkl/ (n)/(v): vòng tròn (n) / đi vòng quanh, bao vây (v) Question 4. Đáp án D Trang 8 Đáp án D đúng vì đáp án D có trọng âm rơi vào âm thứ hai. Các ph ương án còn l ại có tr ọng âm r ơi vào âm thứ 3. A. medieval /ˌmediˈiːvl/ (adj): thời trung cổ B. managerial /ˌmænəˈdʒɪəriəl/ (adj): thuộc về quản lý C. mediocre /ˌmiːdiˈəʊkə(r)/ (adj): tầm thường D. magnificent /mæɡˈnɪfɪsnt/ (adj): tráng lệ, lộng lẫy Question 5. Đáp án D Nhìn vào 4 phương án ta thấy đây là câu hỏi về thì động từ. Trong câu xuất hiện trạng từ “lately - vừa mới, gần đây” đây là trạng từ của thì hi ện t ại hoàn thành nên ta dễ dàng chọn ngay được đáp án D. Tạm dịch: Do tình trạng bất ổn về kinh tế nên mọi người gần đây không vui vẻ cho lắm. * Mở rộng: Trong câu trên ta học được kiến thức sau: Unrest (n): sự bất ổn Due to/ Because of / Owing to/ On account of....+ noun/ pronoun/V-ing, S + V....: Bởi vì... Due to/ Because of / Owing to/ On account of ....là các cụm giới từ chỉ nguyên nhân. Question 6. Đáp án C Đây là câu hỏi về giới từ. Khi muốn nói theo một cách nào đó ta dùng cụm giới từ in ....way. Cụ thể trong câu này là theo một cách hiệu quả. Các phương án còn lại không dùng với nghĩa này nên đáp án là C. Tạm dịch: Truyền hình có thể khiến mọi thứ trở nên đáng nhớ vì nó trình bày thông tin theo một cách hiệu quả. Question 7. Đây là câu hỏi về cấu trúc câu diễn đạt nghĩa tương phản. Ta thấy mệnh đề phía sau có impossible not to be a little nervous - không thể không có chút lo lắng (ngụ ý là lo lắng) và mệnh đề phía trước có confident - tự tin → hai mệnh đề mang nghĩa tương phản. Như vậy, trong đầu phải hình dung ra tất cả các cấu trúc liên quan đ ến m ệnh đ ề ch ỉ s ự t ương ph ản sau: S + V… + in spite of/ despite + noun/pronoun/ V-ing Although/ though/ even though + S + V..., S + V... No matter + what/who/when/where/why + S + V No matter + how + adj/adv + S + V Whatever (+ noun)/ whoever/ wherever/ whenever + S + V However + adj/adv + S + V Nhìn lên câu đề bài ta thấy mệnh đề phía trước đã có: ___________ how confident you are, đối chiếu với các cấu trúc ở trên ta tìm ra được cấu trúc tương ứng là No matter + how + adj/adv + S + V → Chỗ trống cần điền từ No matter. Trang 9 Tạm dịch: Cho dù bạn có tự tin đến mấy thì cũng không thể không có chút lo lắng tr ước m ột kỳ thi quan trọng như này. Question 8. Đáp án A Câu hỏi kiểm tra về thể sai khiến. Nhìn vào câu hỏi ta nhận thấy có: has his pupils → nghĩ ngay đến thể sai khiến với động từ have. Ngoài từ have ta còn dùng thể sai khiến với động từ get. Ta có các cấu trúc sau: Chủ động: S + have + O(person) + V + O S + get + O(person) + to V + O Bị động: S + have/ get + O (thing) + pp (+ by + O) Trong câu hỏi có has his pupils → have + O (person) → chỗ trống cần một động từ ở dạng nguyên thể nên đáp án đúng là A. Tạm dịch: Hiệu trưởng yêu cầu học sinh thu lượm giấy đã dùng rồi cho dự án nhỏ của họ. Question 9. Kiến thức được hỏi - câu hỏi đuôi. Ta có công thức của câu hỏi đuôi: S + V + O..., TRỢ ĐỘNG TỪ + ĐẠI TỪ? Trong đó: - Ở phần câu hỏi đuôi ta dùng trợ động từ tương ứng với thì của câu và đại từ phía sau. - Lựa chọn đại từ cho đúng và phù hợp với chủ ngữ ở trước. - Mệnh đề đã cho và câu hỏi đuôi luôn lệch nhau về khẳng định- phủ định. Đại từ - Lấy chủ từ của mệnh đề chính (mệnh đề phía trước) đổi thành đại từ. Nam → he Nữ → she Vật (số ít) → it Số nhiều (người và vật) → they There → there This/ That → it These/ Those → they Chủ ngữ của mệnh đề chính là “the boys” nên đại từ ở câu hỏi đuôi phải chuyển thành “they” Động từ “came” được chia ở thì quá khứ đơn thì trợ động từ ở câu hỏi đuôi là “did” → loại B và D Tuy nhiên trong mệnh đề chính không xuất hiện từ not mang nghĩa phủ định nhưng có một từ mang nghĩa phủ định đó là Neither (không cái nào/người nào trong hai ) → trợ động từ câu hỏi đuôi phải ở dạng khẳng định → loại A và chọn được C. * Note: Trang 10
