Question

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 questions from 43 to 50.

       When we moved to our new house near the sea, I was eight years old. Even before that I had spent every summer messing about on boats. My dad had taught me to sail before I learnt to ride a bike so I knew how I wanted to spend my time at the new house- I was going to get my own boat and sail it everyday. The house was only a few meters from the water's edge, and in rough weather the waves would come crashing into the front garden. I used to sit with my nose pressed to the glass, fascinated by the power of the ocean. I grew up watching the skies to see if it was going to rain; would I be going sailing that afternoon or not?

            Of course I sometimes wished I could live in the town like my friends. I used to get angry with my parents, who had taken early retirement because they seemed incapable of getting anywhere on time. Dad drove me the eight miles to school everyday, but I was often late because he had been walking on the cliffs earlier in the morning and had lost track of time. When I was taking my university entrance exams, I used to stay over at a friend's in town, just in case. All in all, I was lucky to grow up by the sea and I still love to sail.

According to the passage, all of the following are true EXCEPT ___________.

A. the writer didn't know how to sail.

B. house to school was 8 miles.

C. the waves came crashing into the writer's front garden in bad weather.

D. the write moved to a new house when he was 8.

Answer 1

Đáp án A

Theo như đoạn văn, tất cả những ý sau đây đều đúng ngoại trừ:

A. Tác giả không biết cách chèo thuyền.

B. Con đường từ nhà đến trường dài 8 dặm.

C. Những cơn sóng đã đánh vào khu vườn trước nhà tác giả trong thời tiết xấu.

D. Tác giả đã chuyển vào nhà mới năm lên 8.

Dẫn chứng ở đoạn 2: “My dad had taught me to sail before I learnt to ride a bike” – (Bố đã dạy tôi cách chèo thuyền trước khi tôi tập đi xe đạp).

=> A sai.

Dẫn chứng chứng minh các câu còn lại là đúng:

B. Câu 3-đoạn 2: “Dad drove me the eight miles to school everyday”- (Bố lái xe 8 dặm để đưa tôi tới trường mỗi ngày) => Con đường từ nhà đến trường dài 8 dặm.

C. Câu 4-đoạn 1: “The house was only a few meters from the water's edge, and in rough weather the waves would come crashing into the front garden” – (Ngôi nhà cách bờ biển chỉ vài mét, và trong điều kiện thời tiết xấu, sóng sẽ đánh vào khu vườn phía trước hiên nhà).

D. Câu đầu tiên: “When we moved to our new house near the sea, I was eight years old” – (Khi chúng tôi chuyển tới 1 căn hộ mới ở ven biển là lúc tôi lên 8 tuổi).
