Answer 1

A fox fell into a well and couldn't get ____(1)____ again. Finally a thirsty goat came by and saw the fox____(2)____the well: "Is the water good?" The goat asked. "Good!" said the fox. "It's the best water I've ever____(3)____in my whole life. Why don't you come down and try it?" The goat was very____(4)____, so he jumped into the well. When he finished drinking, he____(5)____for a way to get out of the well, but, of course, there wasn't any. Then the fox said, "I have an excellent idea. Stand on your____(6)____legs and place your front legs firmly against the front side of the well. Then I'll climb onto your back and, from there, I'll step on your____(7)____and be able to get out. When I'm out, I'll get you out, too." The goat thought this was a good idea and____(8)____the advice. When the fox was out of the well, he quickly and quietly walked away. The goat called loudly after him and____(9)____him of the promise he had made to help him out. But the fox turned and said, "You should have as much sense in your head as you have hairs in your beard. You jumped into the well____(10)____making sure you could get out again." Moral: Look before you leap. Choose the best answer to fill in the blank. 1. A. in B. into C. out D. from Căn cứ vào nghĩa của câu thì phải chọn giới từ "out". Ta có "get out" có nghĩa là "ra ngoài". 2. A. on B. in C. out D. from Chỗ trống cần điền một giới từ chỉ vị trí thích hợp. "well" là "cái giếng". Khi muốn nói "ở trong giếng/ở dưới giếng" chúng ta dùng "in the well". 3. A. looked B. smelt C. sounded D. tasted Nước được cảm nhận bằng vị giác chứ không phải bằng thị giác, khứu giác hay thính giác nên động từ thích hợp là "tasted". 4. A. thirsty B. thirst C. hungry D. hunger 5. A. looked B. watched C. researched D. saw Dựa vào giới từ "for" ngay sau chỗ trống thì đáp án đúng là "looked".
Ta có "look for" có nghĩa là "tìm kiếm". 6. A. behind B. end C. back D. last Có cụm từ "front legs" (những chân trước) và dựa vào nghĩa của cả câu thì ta đoán được chỗ trống cần điền một tính từ trái nghĩa với "front" để ám chỉ những những chân còn lại là chân sau. 7. A. ears B. horns C. tail D. trunk - ear (n): tai
- horn (n): sừng
- tail (n): đuôi
- trunk (n): vòi (voi)
Dê không có vòi, và từ vị trí lưng của con dê trong tư thế đứng của nó được đề cập tới trước đó (đứng bằng 2 chân sau, chân trước tì vào thành giếng) => bước lên sừng. 8. A. did B. heard C. used D. followed follow the advice = take the advice : nghe theo/ làm theo lời khuyên 9. A. recalled B. reminded C. remembered D. repeated
- remind: nhắc nhở. Các cấu trúc: remind sb about/of sth, remind sb to do sth
Trong các lựa chọn trên thì B là đúng cả về nghĩa và ngữ pháp (ta thấy có cụm từ "of the promise" ở sau chỗ trống.) 10. A. after B. since C. while D. before Căn cứ theo nghĩa của những câu trước đó thì chỗ trống phải điền "before".
