Đoạn văn này không có gì là quá khó, nó chỉ tập trung nói về Nguyên nhân và Hậu quả
của việc thiếu ngủ. Không có nhiều từ mới cho lắm.
We live in a world of tired, sleep deprived people. In his book Counting Sheep, Paul
Martin – a behavioural biologist – describes a society which is just too busy to sleep and
which does not give sleeping the importance it deserves. (Question 3)
Modern society has invented reasons not to sleep. We are now a 24/7 society where
shops and services must be available all hours. We spend longer hours at work than we

used to, and more time getting to work. Mobile phones and email allow us to stay in touch
round the clock and late-night TV and the Internet tempt us away from our beds
(Question 5). When we need more time for work or pleasure, the easy solution is to sleep
less. The average adult sleeps only 6.2 hours a night during the week, whereas research
shows that most people need eight or even eight and a half hours’ sleep to feel at their
best. Nowadays, many people have got used to sleeping less than they need and they live
in an almost permanent state of ‘sleep debt’.
Until the invention of the electric light in 1879 our daily cycle of sleep used to depend
on the hours of daylight. People would get up with the sun and go to bed at nightfall
(Question 6). But nowadays our hours of sleep are mainly determined by our working
hours (or our social life) and most people are woken up artificially by an alarm clock.
During the day caffeine, the world’s most popular drug, helps to keep us awake. 75% of
the world’s population habitually consume caffeine, which up to a point masks the
symptoms of sleep deprivation. (Question 7: 75% dân số thế giới có thói quen dùng cà phê
để một phần nào đó dấu đi sự thiếu ngủ)
What does a chronic lack of sleep do to us? As well as making us irritable and unhappy
as humans, it also reduces our motivation and ability to work. This has serious
implications for society in general (Question 8). Doctors, for example, are often
chronically sleep deprived, especially when they are on ‘night call’, and may get less than
three hours’ sleep. Lack of sleep can seriously impair their mood, judgment, and ability to
take decisions. Tired engineers, in the early hours of the morning, made a series of
mistakes with catastrophic results. On our roads and motorways lack of sleep kills
thousands of people every year. Tests show that a tired driver can be just as dangerous as a
drunken driver. However, driving when drunk is against the law but driving when
exhausted isn’t. (Question 10) As Paul Martin says, it is very ironic that we admire people
who function on very little sleep instead of criticizing them for being irresponsible. Our
world would be a much safer, happier place if everyone, whatever their job, slept eight
hours a night.

the other three in the position of the primary stress in each of the following questions.
Tôi thấy phần trọng âm với phần phát âm khá lãng nhách trong các đề thi hiện nay,
nếu không muốn nói là vô nghĩa. Đề nghị BGD thay hai cái phần vô nghĩa này bằng
phần nghe hiểu như thế đề thi lúc đó mới có chất lượng, mới giải quyết được sự bất
cập trong việc dạy và học Tiếng Anh hiện nay như Bộ Trưởng BGD đã đề cập .
Question 18:
A. commit /kəˈmɪt/
B. index /ˈɪndeks/
C. preview /ˈpriːvjuː/
D. open /ˈoʊpən/

Page 6
Question 19:

Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the underlined part that
needs correction in each of the following questions.
Phần này không khó nếu biết dùng phương pháp loại trừ. Nó chỉ khó khi đề yêu
cầu các em sửa lỗi sai ấy. Mặc dầu đề không yêu cầu sửa lỗi sai nhưng Tôi vẫn sửa
để các em có thể học hỏi thêm.
Question 23: All of the students in this course will be assessed according to their
attendance, performance, and they work hard.
A. All of the students ~ all the students: Về cơ bản thì hai cụm này như nhau,
không có gì khác nhau về nghĩa. Trong cụm “all of the student”: all đóng vai trò
đại từ (pronoun) được bổ nghĩa bởi một cụm tính từ (adjectival phrase) of the
student. Còn trong cụm “all the students” thì all đóng vai trò là một tính từ
(adjective) bổ nghĩa cho danh từ students.
B. According to (prep) ~ in agreement with ~ in line with ~ pursuant to ~ in
keeping with ~ conforming to ~ in consonance with ~ with regard to ~ with
respect to: theo như, đối với => Cụm giới từ này nằm ở đây không có gì sai.
C. Performance (n). Các em nhìn sau cụm giới từ according to là attendance
(n), tiếp đó là performance (n), tiếp theo là “and”. Vậy phần này không có gì sai.

Page 7
D. And là một liên từ dùng để nối các mệnh đề hay cụm từ song song, nghĩa
là trước sao sau vậy. Nhìn vào trước “And” các em thấy: their attendance,
performance, and “clause”. Thế là sai rồi, chúng ta phải sửa lại thế này: they work
hard => hard work.
Question 24: As seeing from the mountain top, area looks like a picturesque harbour
town.
Note: Câu này y chang đề thi khối A1-2013, câu 80, Mã đề 475 mà Tôi đã giải chi tiết
chỉ khác ngữ cảnh mà thôi. Em nào ôn kỹ là ăn gọn câu này ngon ơ. Nhìn mệnh đề thứ
2, thấy “area” => Chủ từ là vật và nó cũng chính là chủ từ của mệnh đề đầu tiên. Đây là
câu bị động lược giản và mệnh đề đầu đã bị rút gọn chủ từ, ta sửa lại: As seeing => As
seen/Seen.
Question 25: Women in many parts of the world have had lower status than men, which
the extent of the gap between genders varies across cultures and times.
A. Many parts of the world ~ all over the world ~ around the world ~
throughout the world ~ worldwide ~ globally: khắp nơi trên thế giới. Phần này
không có gì sai.
B. Câu này khá khó. Xét về mệnh đề quan hệ thì rõ ràng which đứng ngay tại
đó hoàn toàn vô nghĩa vì chẳng thay được cho cái nào ở vế trước cả. Xét về cụm
thành ngữ thì “which the extent of” hoàn toàn không có nghĩa gì cả. Chúng ta chỉ
có cụm thành ngữ: to the extent of ~ in spite of ~ as far as…nếu mang vào câu này
cũng vô nghĩa nốt. Vậy “which =>but. Ta thử dịch xem: Phụ nữ khắp nơi trên thế
giới luôn có địa vị thấp hơn nam giới, nhưng xét về khoảng cách giới tính thì lại
khác nhau theo văn hóa và thời đại.
Question 26: Since January this year, Joe has suffered two injuries, one to his ankle and
the other in New York.
Câu này giống câu 23, lại là “and”: trước sao sau vậy. Ta thử dịch xem: “Kể từ tháng
giêng năm nay, Joe đã bị 2 chấn thương, một ở mắt cá chân, và cái còn lại ở New York.”
Nghe thấy không lọt tai chút nào nhỉ. Vậy New York sửa thành gì nhỉ? Các em có thể
sửa thành gì trên cơ thể mình cũng được. Ví dụ: his eyes…
Question 27: Most of the students are queuing in lines waiting to enter the classroom.
A. Most of the students ~ Most students: giống y chang câu 23 mà Tôi đã giải
thích ở trên.
B. Queue ~ get in line ~ wait in line: xếp hàng. Có “queue” thì không cần
dùng “in lines” nữa => Bỏ in lines.

Đây có thể là đoạn văn khó nhất trong đề thi.
Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helped to
preserve it, and that the easiest way to do this was to expose the food to sun and wind.
In this way the North American Indians produced pemmican (dried meat ground into
powder and made into cakes), the Scandinavians made stock fish and the Arabs dried
dates and apricots.
All foods contain water – cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93%
wave, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish anything from 80%
to 60% depending on how fatty it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria
which cause food to bad is checked.
Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries,
and also in California, South Africa and Australia. The methods used carry, but in general
the fruit is spread out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun. In order to prevent darkening,
pears, peaches and apricots are exposed to the fumes of burning sulphur before drying
(Question 74). Plums for making prunes, and certain varieties of grapes for making raisins
and currants, are dipped in an alkaline solution in order to crack the skins of the fruit
slightly and remove their wax coating, so increasing the rate of drying.
Nowadays most of foods are dried mechanically; the conventional method of such
dehydration is to put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of

about 1100
C at entry to about 450
C at exit. This is usual method for drying such things as
vegetables, minced meat, and fish. (Question 75)
Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them
over a heated horizontal steel cylinder or by spraying them into a chamber through which
a current of hot air passes. In the first case, the dried material is scraped off the roller as a
thin film which is then broken up into small, though still relatively coarse flakes (Question
77). In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as a fine powder. Where
recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients are
dried separately and then mixed.
Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans of
frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are
invaluable to climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space
(Question 79). They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to
cook them.
