HƯỚNG DẪN ÔN THI VÀO


LỚP 10 THPT 2021-2022

Lưu hành nội bộ

Tổng ôn tập Tuyển sinh vào lớp 10 1


LỜI NÓI ĐẦU
- Hiện nay, kì thi tuyển sinh vào lớp 10 Trung học phổ thông được thực hiện phổ biến ở nhiều tỉnh
thành trong cả nước. Để phục vụ yêu cầu ôn tập môn tiếng Anh cho kì thi này, Tôi tổng hợp biên
soạn cuốn sách Tổng ôn tập thi vào lớp 10 môn tiếng Anh năm học 2022-2023.

- Cuốn sách ôn tập thi vào lớp 10 môn Tiếng Anh năm học 2022-2023 nhằm giúp học sinh Trung
học cơ sở có thêm tài liệu để luyện tập nâng cao kiến thức và chuẩn bị tốt cho các kì thi và kiểm
tra, đặc biệt là kì thi tuyển sinh vào lớp 10 tới.

- Các bài luyện đa dạng về ngữ âm, ngữ pháp, từ vựng, giao tiếp, đọc hiểu và viết theo nội dung
chương trình và sách giáo khoa tiếng Anh THCS hiện hành (Chủ yếu là Chương trình môn tiếng
Anh hệ 10 năm). Chủ đề và nội dung các bài luyện phong phú, hấp dẫn, phù hợp với lứa tuổi học
sinh. Các đề luyện sẽ giúp học sinh củng cố kiến thức đã học, nâng cao kiến thức và kĩ năng ngôn
ngữ, và chuẩn bị tốt cho các kì thi và kiểm tra, đặc biệt là kì thi tuyển sinh vào lớp 10 THPT.

- Tôi hi vọng cuốn sách sẽ là một tài liệu học tập thú vị, hiệu quả và giúp các em học sinh THCS
chuẩn bị tốt nhất cho kì thi sắp tới.

- Mặt dù đã vô cùng tâm huyết khi biên soạn nhưng không thế không mắt phải những thiếu xót
mong sự góp ý chân thành từ quý thầy cô, các em học sinh.

- Hãy gửi phản hồi về hòm thư : trantruongthanh3237906@gmail.com hoặc Zalo 0369904425

surprise /sə'praiz/
prepare /pri’peə(r)/
decide /di'said/

V. TAG QUESTIONS (CÂ U HỎ I ĐUÔ I)

Tổng ôn tập Tuyển sinh vào lớp 10 35


 KNOWLEDGE (KIẾN THỨC)
Câu hỏi đuôi (tag question) là dạng câu hỏi rất hay được sử dụng trong tiếng Anh, đặc biệt là
tiếng Anh giao tiếp. Câu hỏi đuôi là cấu hỏi ngắn ở cuối câu trần thuật. Câu hỏi này được dùng
khi người nói muốn xác minh thông tin là đúng hay không hoặc khi khuyến khích một sự hồi đáp
từ phía người nghe.
Ví dụ:She is learning English now, isn't she? (Cô ấy đang học tiếng Anh bây giờ phải không?)
Công thức chung: S + V +…………………….,trợ động từ + S( ĐẠI TỪ )?
-Nếu câu nói trước dấu phẩy là khẳng định thì câu hỏi đuôi là phủ định và ngược lại.
Dưới đây là bảng tóm tắc cách thành lập câu hỏi đuôi.
Statement Tag questions
I am……… aren’t I ?
I am not……… am I ?
Động từ khiếm khuyết Can’t/couldn’t/shouldn’t/won’t………+
S + can/could/should/will……… S?
Động từ thường Sử dụng trợ động từ: Do/does/did
S + V1…………….., Don’t + S?
S + Vs/es………….., Doesn’t + S?
S + V2/ed…………, Didn’t + S?
S + have/has/had + V3/ed……………, Haven’t/hasn’t/hadn’t + S ?
S + is/are/was/were………………, Isn’t/aren’t/wasn’t/weren’t + S?
S + used to + V………, Didn’t + S ?
S +’d better/had better + V…………, Hadn’t + S?
S +’d rather/would rather/would like + V…………, Would + S?
There + is/are/was/were……………., Isn’t/aren’t/wasn’t/weren’t + S?
Let’s + V………, Shall we+?
Chủ từ là : No one/nobody/anyone/anybody/ ……………..+ they ?
everyone/everybody/someone/somebody
Chủ từ là: nothing/anything/something/ ………………+ it?
Everything…………..
Chủ từ là this/that………….. ………………+ it?
Chủ từ là these/those………. ……………..+ they ?
Trong câu có các từ phủ định:no/none/without Câu hỏi đuôi khẳng định không có N’T
Neither/hardly/seldom/rarely/little/never/few.
S + ought to………, Shouldn’t + S?
Câu mệnh lệnh Will you?
=> Cấu trúc:" I + think/believe/suppose/…." + mệnh đề phụ thì ta dùng động từ trong mệnh đề
phụ để xác định động từ cho câu hỏi đuôi.
Ex: I think she will meet him, won't she?
Cũng mẫu cấu trúc này nhưng nếu chủ từ không phải là "I" thì dùng động từ chính trong câu
(think/believe/suppose/...) để xác định động từ cho câu hỏi đuôi.
Ex: She thinks he will come, dosen’t she?

- Sau ”nor” bắt buộc là 1 động từ, nên nếu chủ ngữ của 2 mệnh đề khác nhau thì khi ghép lại,
phải đưa động từ hoặc mượn trợ động từ đứng trước chủ ngữ của mệnh đề thứ 2.
He isn't rich, nor do I imagine that he ever will be.

About 400 people try to reach the top every year. Having many climbers means a lot of trash.
It is very dangerous to climb Mt. Everest. The air is very thin and cold. Most people carry bottles
of oxygen; they could die without it. When the oxygen bottles are empty, people throw them on
the ground.When strong winds rip their tents, people leave them behind. They don’t have the
energy to take the trash away. They only have enough energy to go down the mountain safely.
Trash is a terrible problem. Since people first began to climb Mt. Everest, they have left 50,000
kilos of trash on the mountain. Several groups have climbed the mountain just to pick up the
trash. When people plan to climb the mountain, they have to plan to take away their trash.

 PRACTICE (LUYỆN TẬP)
Read the following texts, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D to each question.
[1] One of the most important discoveries of the nineteenth century was a method of using natural
gas for cooking and heating. Large amounts of natural gas are found in the United States, usually
several feet below the surface of the Earth. Natural gas is most often found in places where
petroleum, the oil from which gasoline is made, is found. Often the natural gas must be removed
before the oil itself can be reached.
For many years after natural gas was first discovered, it was thought to have no value. Finally,
however, people began to understand its use and to find ways of storing it and moving it from
place to place.Today natural gas is stored in large tanks and used for lighting, cooking and
heating. It has also been used for electric generators and hybrid cars recently. In many ways
natural gas is one of our finest fuels. It can be used for cooking without making the room hot. It is
cheap and can be moved easily from one place to another through long pipelines, some of which
are hundreds of miles in length.

[3] Tropical cyclones are called typhoons in Asia and hurricanes in North andSouth America.
These forms go around like a wheel turning to the left when they hit in the northern part of the
world. They have wind speeds of 60 kph or more. In theUnited States, the Tropical Prediction
Center in Miami, Florida keeps an eye out for hurricanes.
When meteorologists discover a hurricane, they give it a name. They can use either a male or
female name. Why should tropical cyclones have names? The name makes it easy for people to
keep up with information about a hurricane and its possible dangers.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), an international weather group decides what
names will be used. The WMO makes lists of names using the English alphabet. Each name on the
list starts with a different letter. The first hurricane of the year gets the first name on that year's list.

The second hurricane gets the next name. For examples, if the first hurricane is named Abel, the
second might be named Betty. The name lists do not include names beginning with the letters Q,
U, X. Y and Z. There aren't many names that begin with these letters.

[6] In the Mekong Delta, Long Dinh village of Tien Giang province is famous for its traditional
craft of weaving flowered mats. The mat’s high quality makes them popular domestically, and
they are also exported to markets worldwide including Korea, Japan and America.
In spite of its well-established reputation for this traditional craft, mat weaving only started
here some 50 years ago. It was first introduced by immigrants from Kim Son, a famous mat
weaving village in the northern province of Ninh Binh. However, the technique of weaving sedge
mats in Long Dinh, as compared with other places in the South, is somewhat different. Long Dinh
branded mats are thicker and have more attractive colours and patterns.
Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice. Long Dinh mat production mainly occurs
during the dry season, from January to April. Weavers have to work their hardest in May and
June, otherwise, when the rainy season starts in July, they will have to put off finishing their
products till the next dry season. No matter how much work it requires, Long Dinh mat producers
stick with this occupation, as it brings a higher income than growing rice.
This trade provides employment for thousands of local labourers. At present, nearly 1,000
households in Long Dinh village live on weaving mats. To better meet market demands, Long
Dinh mat weavers have created more products in addition to the traditional sedge mats.
Particularly, they are producing a new type of mat made from the dried stalks of water hyacinth, a
common material in the Mekong Delta.
Thanks to the planning and further investment, the mat weaving occupation has indeed
brought in more income for local residents. Their living standards have improved considerably,
resulting in better conditions for the whole village.

of the country.

WORLD BBQ
To some people, there is nothing more appetizing than the smell of meat sizzling over an open
fire. Throughout the world, people love to eat barbecue because it lets them together with friends
and family to enjoy a meat that brings them back to their caveman roots. Cooking over coals or
an open flame makes people feel more sociable.
Most countries have barbecue traditions, and they usually take place on national holidays. In
the United States, it is a tradition to have a barbecue of hamburgers and hot dogs on July 4, which
is Independence Day. In Taiwan, people get together to eat barbecue during the Moon festival,
and the smell of burning coals is in the air all day.
In South America, and in Argentina in particular, barbecue is a way of life. All sorts of meats
and sausages are put on a large grill together over hot coals. Barbecue is even considered the
national dish in Argentina, and it is given the name of asado in Portuguese. This means not only
the dish, but also the social event that surrounds an Argentina barbecue.
When a person speaks about Turkish and Middle Eastern barbecue, the kebab immediately
comes to mind. The tradition of taking different meats, and sometimes vegetables as well, and
spearing them with a sharp stick called a skewer has crossed cultural lines today. Practically,
anywhere in the English-speaking world, the thought of shish-kebab will make barbecue lovers’
mouth water.

[12] Son Doong Cave has become more famous after the American Broadcasting Company (ABC)
aired a live programme featuring its magnificence on ‘Good Morning America’ in May 2015.
Located in Quang Binh Province, Son Doong Cave was discovered by a local man named Ho
Khanh in 1991, and became known internationally in 2009 thanks to British cavers, led by Howard
Limbert. The cave was formed about 2 to 5 million years ago by river water eroding away the
limestone underneath the mountain. It contains some of the tallest known stalagmites in the world
- up to 70 metres tall. The cave is more than 200 metres wide, 150 metres high, and nearly 9
kilometres long, with caverns big enough to fit an entire street inside them. Son Doong Cave is
recognised as the largest cave in the world by BCRA (British Cave Research Association) and
selected as one of the most beautiful on earth by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation).
In August 2013, the first tourist group explored the cave on a guided tour. Permits are now
required to access the cave and are made available on a limited basis. Only 500 permits were
issued for the 2015 season, which runs from February to August. After August, heavy rains cause
river levels to rise and make the cave largely inaccessible.

[13] Traditions, saying, beliefs, language, and values are just a few things that make up our
culture. Culture is the framework in which families are structured. It shapes our expectations and
ideals. Culture plays a part in the meaning of marriage and our roles as husbands, wives, children
and parents.
Understanding cultural differences and similarities related to marriage is important. Culture
affects the roles that spouses take within marriages, the age at marriage and number of children a
couple have, the meaning of divorce, cohabitation and non-marital childbearing, and the way
parents raise children. Understanding how relationships and marriages vary across cultural
contexts, and how they are similar, we will be able to identify the unique ways that marriages and
family life affect people of various cultures. As a result, we will be able to help families and
sustain happy marriages.

very exciting indeed. What of the disadvantages of a cross cultural marriage or love relationship
with someone from another country or cultural background? No matter how much you love your

[14] Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times.
Music may seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently to the
music. We are able to apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If someone hates jazz, then a
jazz piece with a positive effect will probably not make him feel good. A happy song might appear
to make an angry person angrier, yet it is not the music itself that is creating the anger; rather it is
the positive effect of the music. The angry person does not want to accept the song's happy
feeling: it points out his already existing anger, and makes that anger come to the surface. When a
piece of music is played and we are listening to it, our body, mind, and feelings are being affected.
The musicians of ancient cultures such as China, India, Turkey and Greece understood the effects
of music. In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient Greece, introduced a whole science that concerned them.
Because the musicians of these ancient cultures understood these effects, they created music that
was positive, uplifting, and beneficial. Once the effects of music are better understood, the next
step is to gain a better understanding of the music around us, and what effect it is actually having.
1. The text is about __________.
A. The science of music B. Understanding music
C. The effects of music on human feelings D. Music and an angry person
2. Music __________.
A. cannot be chosen B. affects everybody in the same way
C. affects us in different ways D. never makes us angry
3. According to the text, __________.
A. everybody likes jazz B. jazz always makes us feel better
C. no one likes jazz D. a very angry person sometimes do not
accept music
4. What does the word “they” in the reading text refer to?
A. ancient cultures B. effects C. musicians D. pieces of music
5. The word "Once" has a close meaning to __________.

How can scientists predict earthquakes? Earthquakes are not scattered anywhere but happen in
certain areas. They happen in places where pieces of the Earth"s surface meet. For example,
earthquakes often occur on the west-coast of North and South America, around the Mediterranean
Sea, and along the Pacific coast of Asia.
Tổng ôn tập Tuyển sinh vào lớp 10 219
Another way to predict earthquakes is to look for changes in the earth’s surface, like a sudden
drop of water level in the ground. Some people say animals can predict earthquakes. Before
earthquakes, people have seen chickens sitting in trees, fish jumping out of the water, snakes
leaving their holes and other animals acting strangely.
After an earthquake happens, people can die from lack of food, water, and medical supplies. The
amount of destruction caused by an earthquake depends on where it happens, what time it
happens, and how strong it is. It also depends on types of buildings, soil conditions and
population. Of the 6000 earthquakes on the earth each year, only about fifteen cause great damage
and many deaths.

Many people now think that teachers give pupils too much homework. They say that it is
unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most
Tổng ôn tập Tuyển sinh vào lớp 10 222
teachers do not properly plan the homework tasks they give to pupils. The result is that pupils
have to repeat tasks, which they have already done at school.
Recently many parents complained about the difficult homework which teachers gave to their
children. The Greek parents said that most of the homework was a waste of time, and they wanted
to stop it. Spain and Turkey are two countries, which stopped homework recently. In Denmark,
West Germany and several other countries in Europe, teachers cannot set homework at weekends.
In Holland, teachers allow pupils to stay at school to do their homework. The children are free to
help one another. Similar arrangements also exist in some British schools.
Most people agree that homework is unfair. A pupil who can do his homework in a quiet and
comfortable room is in a much better position than a pupil who does his homework in a small,
noisy room with the television on. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other
parents take no interest at all in their children’s homework.
It is important, however, that teachers talk to parents about homework. A teacher suggests
suitable tasks for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own
children.

New York is called “the Big Apple”. Maybe it is not exactly like an apple, it’s certainly very big.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D, on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To generate
solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be installed on house
roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy. Compared
to other renewable sources, they also possess many advantages. Wind and water power rely on
turbines which are noisy, expensive and easy to break down. Solar cells are totally silent and non-
polluting. As they have no moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime.
However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy during
daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large area to work
effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice as much as
traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are expensive. Scientists are
hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as more and more people see the advantages of this
environmentally friendly source of energy.
41. What does the passage primarily discuss?
A. Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.
B. The cost of solar energy.
C. Solar energy’s advantages over other sources of energy.
D. Solar energy as an alternative for fossil fuels.
42. What does the word they in line 4 refer to?
A. solar energy users. B. advantages.
C. solar cells. D. other renewable resources.
43. What is NOT mentioned as an advantage of solar cells?
A. They operate quietly. B. They require little maintenance.
C. They cost little to produce. D. They are non-polluting.
44. What does the word advantages in line 12 mean ?
A. resources B. benefits C. friendly D. very bad.
45. Which of the following is the main disadvantage of solar energy mentioned in the passage?
A. It is unfriendly to the environment. B. Solar cells require large areas to operate.
C. It depends on sunlight. D. It is expensive.
