Personal computers, or PCs, are an important part of our everyday lives. Many people cannot imagine life without them. One of the most important people in making these machines work is Bill Gates.

Bill Gates was born in 1955 in Washington State. He grew up in a rich family. His parents sent him to a private school. There he met his business partner, Paul Allen. When they were in eighth grade, they were writing programs for business computers and making money.

In 1973, Gates was accepted at Harvard University. His parents were happy. They thought he would get over his obsession with computers and become a lawyer like his father. Two years later, Gates dropped out of Harvard to work on a computer program with his friend Allen. They worked eighteen hours a day in a dormitory room at Harvard. They were writing the program that would run one of the first personal computers. In 1975, they created a company called Microsoft to sell their product.

Allen became ill with cancer and left Microsoft in 1983. He recovered a few years later and started his own company. Meanwhile, Microsoft became a giant company. By 1990, at the age of thirty-four, Gates was the youngest billionaire in the history of the United States. He was the "King of Software". He achieved his success with a lot of hard work. For more than ten years, he worked sixteen-hour days, seven days a week. He had a dream and the will to succeed. By 1997, he was the richest man in the United States.

Xin chào tất cả các em, chúng mình cùng tiếp tục chuỗi các câu hỏi ôn tập thi vào lớp 10 môn Tiếng Anh cùng Hoc24 nhé!

Read the following article about how to be environmentally friendly and decide in which paragraph (A - E) the following are mentioned. Write your answer (A, B, C, D, or E). Write one letter for each answer. The paragraphs may be chosen more than once.

A. FAIR TRADE

Farmers in developing countries are some of the most vulnerable people on earth, prey to world commodity markets, middlemen and the weather. So-called “fair trade” arrangements guarantee co-operative groups a price above the world market and a bonus on top. The growing fair-trade market has distributed hundreds of millions of pounds to more than 50 million people worldwide. But critics say that fair trade will never lift a country out of poverty; indeed, it may keep it there, because the money generated from the sale goes almost in its entirety to rich countries which promote the products. As a simple guide, only about 5% of the sale price of a fair-trade chocolate bar may actually go to a poor country.

B. ORGANIC FOOD

For food to be organic it must be free of added chemicals, both in the growing of the food and in the killing of the pests that might damage the crop. In a world where many manufactured chemicals have never been properly tested for safety, this is a very big selling point. Parents are thus prepared to pay a premium for organic food, especially when chemicals suspected of causing a variety of problems have been found, albeit in tiny quantities, in most children’s blood. The problem is that many farmers have not switched to organic in sufficient numbers to satisfy this growing market. As a result, supermarkets are often forced to fly vegetables as they can label “organic” halfway around the world, at a great cost to the planet in extra greenhouse gases. Environmentalists are now urging shoppers to buy locally produced vegetables, even if they are not organic and have been sprayed with pesticides.

C. RECYCLING

A great shift has taken place in the way we think about rubbish. Where once we were happy to bury it in landfills or dump it at sea, we are now being urged by national and local governments to recycle it and think of waste as a resource. The wheelie-bin culture is being replaced by a series of kerbside collections for paper, metals, plastic, bottles, clothes and compost. The idea is to cut landfill as well as saving the planet. It is, however, having some unexpected consequences. Most of Britain's plastic and paper is now being sent for recycling in China or India, which creates more greenhouse gases just to get it there, plus workers then have to separate it. Meanwhile, some paper and bottles carefully sorted out by householders end up being dumped in landfills after all, because the demand for recycled materials constantly fluctuates.

D. BEING CARBON NEUTRAL

If you want to make yourself feel better about the planet, there are lots for you to ease your conscience by becoming “carbon neutral”. One of the most appealing methods is to pay for someone to plant trees, preferably creating or regenerating new forests. The theory is that trees grow by absorbing carbon dioxide and giving out oxygen storing the carbon in their trunks. But woods and forests create their own mini-climate, which collects and stores water and creates rainclouds. Added to this, there is the potential problem that planting trees often releases carbon stored in the soil – and what happens if the forests catch fire, or are chopped down and harvested for timber? Another and perhaps better solution might be to invest in small-scale hydro-electric schemes, so that people who live in the Himalayas, for example, and currently do not have electricity, can develop a 21st-century lifestyle without polluting the planet.

E. ECO-TOURISM

The idea of “green” tourism is to persuade local people not to chop down forests, shoot elephants or wipe out tigers, but to preserve them so rich tourists visit and peer at the wildlife through binoculars. Unfortunately, the best money is made from reintroducing animals for trophy hunting by the very rich- an idea which does not always meet with approval and has caused much debate. While tourists may help sustain some national parks, they often create as many problems as they solve. One is that they tend to demand all mod cons in their hotels, such as a great deal of water for showers; a luxury sometimes not available for locals. Eco-tourism, when properly managed, can offer the locals and the animals a brighter future. Sometimes, though, the only winners are a few business people who own hotels.

In which section is the following mentioned?

a controversial pastime that rises considerable money?	Question 1. ______
an action that creates a different weather pattern	Question 2. ______
an undesirable result of unnecessary global transportation (NB. You must provide two different option)	Question 3. ______	Question 4. _____
inadequate research into harmful substances	Question 5. ______
a continual change in what is required or needed	Question 6. ______
people at the greatest risk from factors beyond their control	Question 7. ______
a far-reaching change in official attitude	Question 8. ______
a benefit for those the scheme was not originally intended for (NB. You must provide two different option)	Question 9. ______	Question 10. _____
the bringing of a source of energy to remote areas	Question 11. _____
a failure to adapt in order to meet increasing demands	Question 12. _____

PHƯƠNG PHÁP LÀM BÀI:

Từ loại trong tiếng Anh bao gồm: danh từ (noun), động từ (verb), tính từ (adjective), trạng từ (adverb).

Để làm tốt dạng bài điền từ loại vào đoạn văn, bạn cần phải nắm chắc các quy tắc hình thành từ loại.

PHƯƠNG PHÁP LÀM BÀI:

Trong tiếng Anh có 12 thì cơ bản, các em cần xem lại cấu trúc và cách sử dụng của từng Thì.

- Nâng cao kỹ năng làm bài:

+ Nhìn từ đứng trước và đứng sau chỗ trống cần điền để xem đó là loại giới từ gì hoặc cụm từ gì (chưa cần hiểu nghĩa).

+ Nếu là giới từ và cụm động từ cơ bản, chúng ta dễ dàng lựa chọn được đáp án. (VD: at + giờ; belong to, ...)

+ Nếu là giới từ và cụm động từ có nhiều nghĩa, chúng ta phải dịch nghĩa để có thể chọn được đáp án đúng (VD: get on (lên xe); get off (xuống xe)).

4. DẠNG 4: CÂU ĐIỀU KIỆN

PHƯƠNG PHÁP LÀM BÀI:

- Nắm vững cấu trúc và cách sử dụng của các loại câu điều kiện.

- Xác định câu có chỗ trống cần điền thuộc câu điều kiện loại nào, dựa vào các vế cho sẵn.

- Nếu chưa chắc chắn, em hãy đọc kỹ các câu đứng trước hoặc sau câu đó.

- Lựa chọn đáp án đúng cần điền.

Lưu ý:

- Có những chỗ trống sẽ dùng dạng đảo ngữ của câu điều kiện, do vậy em cần ghi nhớ cả những kiến thức về phần này.

5. DẠNG 5: CÂU BỊ ĐỘNG

PHƯƠNG PHÁP LÀM BÀI:

Đối với dạng bài điền từ liên quan đến câu bị động thì chỗ trống cần điền thường là động từ của câu, do đó, cách làm dạng bài này là:

- Xác định thì của câu có chỗ trống cần điền thông qua trạng từ đi kèm hoặc ý nghĩa.

- Xác định chủ ngữ của câu cần điền (số ít hay số nhiều)

- Lựa chọn đáp án đúng.

6. DẠNG 6: DANH ĐỘNG TỪ - ĐỘNG TỪ NGUYÊN THỂ CÓ "TO"/KHÔNG "TO"

PHƯƠNG PHÁP LÀM BÀI:

- Chọn đáp án đúng với cụm từ/ mẫu câu đó.

Lưu ý:

- Cần phải ghi nhớ những cách sử dụng và vị trí của danh động từ và động từ nguyên thể có “to”/ không “to”.

7. DẠNG 7: SO SÁNH

PHƯƠNG PHÁP LÀM BÀI:

Xác định chỗ trống cần điền thuộc dạng so sánh nào, thông qua một vài dấu hiệu sau.
