Dạng này hỏi gì và làm thế nào
Craft and Structure chiếm khoảng 28% phần Reading and Writing, và Words in
Context là dạng đông câu nhất trong nhóm. Điều phải bỏ ngay: đây không phải bài kiểm tra vốn từ — đề
hỏi đoạn văn cần một từ mang quan hệ logic nào.
Cách làm duy nhất đúng: đọc đoạn văn, tìm câu giải thích chỗ trống, xác định chiều (cụm
rather than là tín hiệu đảo chiều mạnh nhất), tự điền một từ tiếng Anh đơn giản của mình, rồi
mới nhìn bốn đáp án.

Text 1
The charter is written in a hand that no scribe of the abbey used after about 1140, and its formulas match those of the abbey's other charters of the 1130s. On palaeographical grounds the document belongs to the reign it names.
Text 2
The ink carries a pigment first recorded in the region in the 1190s. Nothing in the script tells against a later scribe copying an authentic original, or imitating an old hand for a grant the abbey wished it had. When the surviving parchment was written and when the grant was made are two questions.
Which choice best describes how the author of Text 2 responds to Text 1?
- By denying that the hand of the charter belongs to the 1130s, on the ground that the pigment in the ink was unknown in the region before the 1190s.
- By arguing that the abbey forged the charter to claim property it never held.
- By showing that the palaeographical evidence was read wrongly, since the abbey went on using the formulas of the 1130s for decades after 1140.
- By accepting the evidence Text 1 gives and denying that it settles when this parchment was written.
Xem đáp án và lời giải
Đáp án: D. By accepting the evidence Text 1 gives and denying that it settles when this parchment was written.
Lập luận thuận: Text 2 không đụng vào chữ viết hay công thức, mà tách hai câu hỏi ra — chữ của thập niên 1130 chứng minh kiểu chữ, không chứng minh tờ da này được viết năm nào, vì một người chép sau vẫn có thể chép lại kiểu chữ ấy.
(A) dùng đúng dữ kiện sắc tố nhưng gán sai chỗ: sắc tố định tuổi mực, còn Text 2 nói thẳng “Nothing in the script tells against” — tức nó không hề phủ nhận chữ viết là chữ 1130s. (C) bịa thêm một dữ kiện trái với Text 1, vốn nói không người chép nào của tu viện dùng lối ấy sau khoảng 1140; Text 2 cũng chẳng khẳng định điều đó. (B) chọn cứng một trong hai khả năng mà Text 2 cố ý để ngỏ — chép lại bản gốc thật, HOẶC giả cổ tự — nên nó nói nhiều hơn hẳn điều Text 2 chịu nói.
Bẫy: Bất đồng ở đây nằm ở việc bằng chứng CHỨNG MINH ĐƯỢC ĐIỀU GÌ, không nằm ở chỗ bằng chứng đúng hay sai.

Text 1
Coral fragments raised in nurseries and cemented onto a degraded reef showed 78 percent survival after two years, and the treated plots now carry more live coral than untreated plots close by. Restoration of this kind works.
Text 2
The colonies transplanted are of three fast-growing branching species, chosen because they survive handling. The reef before its decline was built mainly by slow massive corals, and it is those that supply the framework holding a reef together in a storm. Live cover has come back. The builders have not.
Which choice best describes the relationship between the two texts?
- Text 2 disputes the survival figure in Text 1, arguing that branching corals chosen for their tolerance of handling could not hold 78 percent over two years.
- Text 2 argues that reef restoration should be abandoned rather than redirected.
- Text 2 accepts Text 1's measurements and questions whether they measure what matters for a reef.
- Text 2 supplies a second line of evidence for Text 1, showing that live cover on the treated plots has come back.
Xem đáp án và lời giải
Đáp án: C. Text 2 accepts Text 1's measurements and questions whether they measure what matters for a reef.
Lập luận thuận: Text 2 mở bằng việc thừa nhận độ phủ đã tăng, rồi chỉ ra rằng thứ được trồng lại không phải thứ dựng nên khung rạn. Vậy nó công kích tính đại diện của phép đo, không công kích con số.
(A) lấy đúng chi tiết “chọn vì chịu được cầm nắm” nhưng quay nó ngược: chi tiết ấy giải thích VÌ SAO 78 percent sống được, chứ không phải lý do nghi ngờ con số. (D) đúng ở vế đầu — độ phủ sống quả đã trở lại — nhưng Text 2 nêu điều đó để nhượng bộ rồi bác, không phải để đỡ cho Text 1. (B) mạnh hơn cái Text 2 nói: nó phê phán cách đọc kết quả chứ không kêu gọi dừng lại.
Bẫy: Đo đúng một đại lượng vẫn có thể là đo nhầm đại lượng. Đây là kiểu bất đồng gặp nhiều nhất ở cặp văn bản khó.
Câu 3KhóTrắc nghiệmcó lời giải
Text 1
Drivers say they find far fewer insects on their windscreens than they did thirty years ago, and the impression matches trap data from several countries showing steep falls in the biomass of flying insects.
Text 2
Cars are now shaped to slip through the air, and the pressure wave ahead of a streamlined bonnet lifts small insects over the roof instead of driving them into the glass. Two cars driven along the same lane on the same evening return very different counts. The trap data may well be right. The windscreen is not evidence for it.
Based on the texts, the author of Text 2 would most likely describe the windscreen impression as
- a mistaken report of what drivers observed, since a streamlined bonnet leaves as many insects on the glass as the blunt shapes of thirty years ago did.
- unreliable as evidence, whatever the truth about insect numbers turns out to be.
- proof that flying insect numbers have not fallen at all.
- the strongest support now available for the trap data, since drivers in several countries report the same change.

Đáp án: B. unreliable as evidence, whatever the truth about insect numbers turns out to be.
Lập luận thuận: Text 2 nêu một biến thứ hai — hình dáng xe — thay đổi cùng thời kỳ và đủ sức tạo ra chính hiện tượng đó, rồi nói thẳng rằng dữ liệu bẫy có thể đúng. Vậy thái độ của nó là gạt kính chắn gió khỏi hàng bằng chứng, không kết luận gì về số côn trùng.
(A) trái ngay với cơ chế Text 2 dựng lên: sóng áp suất trước mui xe thuôn NÂNG côn trùng qua nóc, tức số côn trùng dính kính phải khác đi chứ không như cũ; và Text 2 không hề bảo tài xế nhìn nhầm. (D) lấy đúng chuyện nhiều người cùng thấy nhưng kết luận ngược với câu chốt “The windscreen is not evidence for it”. (C) là bước Text 2 từ chối bước: “không phải bằng chứng” không cho phép kết luận số côn trùng chưa giảm.
Bẫy: “Không phải bằng chứng” không đồng nghĩa với “kết luận sai”. Ba phương án sai đều nhét thêm một kết luận về côn trùng.

Text 1
Hoards of coin buried in the province cluster in the 260s, and the cluster is read as the mark of a decade of raiding: people buried their savings and did not survive to dig them up.
Text 2
A hoard enters the record only if it was buried, not recovered, and later found. The coinage of the 260s was debased so far that it circulated in enormous quantities and was worth almost nothing by weight, and coin of that kind was more often abandoned than retrieved. That the raids happened is attested by other sources and is not in question here.
Which choice best describes how the two texts relate?
- Text 2 offers a different account of the pattern Text 1 relies on without denying the events Text 1 invokes.
- Text 2 denies that hoards from the 260s survive in unusual numbers, holding that coin debased that far was too worthless for anyone to trouble burying.
- Text 2 argues that the raids of the 260s did not in fact take place.
- Text 2 gives further evidence that savings were buried during the raids by owners who did not survive to lift them.

Lập luận thuận: Text 2 giữ nguyên cả cụm kho tiền lẫn các cuộc đột kích, rồi giải thích cụm ấy bằng một cơ chế khác — tiền mất giá thì ít ai quay lại đào, nên tỉ lệ kho tiền nằm lại dưới đất tăng vọt dù số người chôn không tăng.
(B) đọc ngược chính cơ chế đó: Text 2 nói tiền mất giá làm người ta BỎ LUÔN chỗ đã chôn, chứ không nói không ai chôn; và lập luận của nó cần cụm kho tiền có thật thì mới có gì để giải thích.

Câu 5KhóTrắc nghiệm
Text 1
When a journal hid author names from its reviewers, the share of accepted papers coming from less prominent institutions rose. Anonymity removed a bias the reviewers had been exercising.
Text 2
In the same journal, reviewers who were asked to guess named the author correctly for about a third of submissions from the subject matter alone, and those were disproportionately the papers from well-known laboratories. The change in the accepted mix is real. Where it came from is harder to say, since the concealment worked unevenly across exactly the group whose share fell.
The author of Text 2 would most likely say that the conclusion drawn in Text 1 is
- contradicted by the guessing rate, which shows that reviewers knew the authors of most submissions whether names were hidden or not.
- put on firmer ground by the guessing rate, since concealment held for most papers.
- not yet supported, because the treatment did not fall equally on the papers being compared.
- beside the point, since acceptance rates do not measure the quality of papers.

Text 1
A language with fifty speakers left has been recorded in 400 hours of audio, its grammar described and its dictionary published. The language is now safe from loss in the sense that matters: it can be studied, and if a community wishes, learned again.
Text 2
The archive is admirable and the grammar is accurate. But every one of those hours was recorded in answer to a linguist's prompt, and what is missing is the language spoken between people who are not being asked anything — the pace of it, the interrupting, the joke. Someone reviving the language from this archive alone would speak a language no one had spoken.
Which choice best describes the disagreement between the two texts?
- They disagree about how many speakers remain, since Text 2 counts only those who still use the language with one another rather than with a linguist.
- They disagree about whether the published grammar is an accurate description.
- They disagree about whether the linguist’s prompting distorted what was recorded.
- They disagree about whether what the archive holds is enough for the purpose Text 1 claims for it.

Text 1
Examiners in a controlled test declared a match on pairs of prints from the same finger in 99.6 percent of trials, and declared no match on pairs from different fingers in 99.9 percent. On these figures the method is as accurate as anything in forensic use.
Text 2
In that test an examiner received one pair at a time and was told nothing else. In casework a print arrives with a suspect already attached to it, and often with a note about what the suspect is said to have done. The figures measure the method under conditions that casework does not supply.
Which choice best describes how the author of Text 2 responds to Text 1?
- By accepting the figures and disputing the range of conditions over which they hold.
- By arguing that the error rates were calculated incorrectly, because each examiner in the test was given one pair at a time and nothing else.
- By maintaining that fingerprint evidence should never be admitted in court.
- By reporting a later test in which examiners were shown the suspect’s file.

Text 1
Strandings of beaked whales along one coast rose sharply in the years after naval exercises there began using a new sonar, and several strandings fell within two days of an exercise. The link is hard to dismiss.
Text 2
The exercises began in 2003. So did a programme of coastal patrols that reports a stranded animal the moment it is seen; before 2003 a carcass entered the record only if a member of the public telephoned it in. The clustering within two days of an exercise is a different matter, and it does need explaining.
Which choice best describes the relationship between the two texts?
- Text 2 rejects both observations Text 1 rests on, tracing the rise in strandings and the two-day clustering alike to the patrols begun in 2003.
- Text 2 offers a competing explanation for one of Text 1's observations while allowing that the other still stands.
- Text 2 confirms Text 1’s conclusion by adding that the patrols began in the same year.
- Text 2 argues that sonar has no effect on whales, since better reporting explains the whole record.

Text 1
Manorial accounts show yields rising on estates that took up the three-field rotation, and historians credit the new rotation with lifting output across the region.
Text 2
The rotation was adopted first on the heavy clays of the east, where marling was being introduced in the same decades, and last on the light soils of the west, where it made almost no difference to yields. The regional rise is in the accounts. What the accounts cannot do is hold the marl still while the rotation changes.
Which choice best describes how the two texts relate?
- Text 2 disputes the yield figures in the manorial accounts, since estates on the light soils of the west recorded almost no gain from the rotation.
- Text 2 argues that the three-field rotation lowered yields where it was adopted.
- Text 2 accepts the rise and holds that the accounts cannot assign it to the rotation alone.
- Text 2 supplies the mechanism by which the rotation raised yields in the east.

Text 1
Software now reads eighteenth-century hands at 94 percent accuracy per character, and a collection of 60,000 letters has been made searchable in nine months — work that a team of transcribers would have needed twenty years for. The bottleneck in archival research has been removed.
Text 2
Ninety-four percent per character leaves an error somewhere in about a quarter of the words. Searching still works for common words, because a search that fails on one instance succeeds on the next. What does not survive is the proper name, the place, the sum of money — the strings a researcher looks for once, and cannot guess the misreading of.
Which choice best describes the disagreement between the two texts?
- They disagree about the accuracy the software achieves, Text 2 putting the true rate near three quarters once whole words rather than characters are counted.
- They disagree about how long a team of transcribers would have needed for the letters.
- They disagree about whether the collection is worth searching by machine at all.
- They disagree about whether that level of accuracy is adequate for the use Text 1 has in mind.

Playing eighteenth-century music at the pitch of its own day, roughly a semitone below the modern standard, restores the sound the composer wrote for: gut strings at the right tension, singers in the register the lines were shaped around.
Text 2
There was no pitch of its own day. Surviving organs from the decades in question are tuned across a range of nearly a whole tone, and two churches in one city could differ by a third of that. Choosing 415 hertz is choosing one point in a spread. It is a workable convention and ought to be called one.
Which choice best describes how the author of Text 2 responds to Text 1?
- By challenging the assumption that there was a single historical pitch available to be restored.
- By arguing that the modern standard sits closer to eighteenth-century practice than 415 hertz does, given how widely the surviving organs are tuned.
- By denying that pitch makes any difference to how string instruments sound.
- By maintaining that performers should set the historical evidence aside.

Calls to the city's pest line fell 40 percent in the two years after the new bin programme, and officials report the rat population down by a similar margin.
Text 2
A call count is two things multiplied together: how many rats there are, and how likely a resident is to lift the telephone. The programme was launched with a campaign telling residents that bins, not calls, were now the answer. Call volumes fell across every category in those two years, including categories no bin can touch.
Based on the texts, the author of Text 2 would most likely regard the 40 percent fall as
- evidence that the rat population fell by rather more than 40 percent, since calls in every other category dropped over the same two years.
- a figure that cannot be read as a population estimate on this evidence.
- proof that the bin programme has made the rat problem worse.
- an accurate estimate that the officials have if anything understated.

Genomes from burials show that within two centuries after 2800 BC most of the ancestry in the region traces to a population from the steppe. A turnover on that scale must mean the people already there were displaced.
Text 2
The turnover in ancestry is not in doubt. But ancestry is counted through those who left descendants, and a small incoming group whose men married locally, and whose sons did the same, fills the record within a handful of generations without anyone being driven anywhere. Displacement and unequal reproduction leave the same signature in the genomes we happen to have.
Which choice best describes the relationship between the two texts?
- Text 2 disputes the dating of the burials, holding that a handful of generations is far too short a span to produce a turnover on the scale Text 1 describes.
- Text 2 denies that steppe ancestry became common in the region.
- Text 2 supplies a mechanism supporting Text 1’s account of displacement.
- Text 2 accepts Text 1's genetic finding and denies that it can choose between two histories.

The 3,000 negatives are catalogued under the studio's founder, and the catalogue is right to do so: the contracts with sitters name him, the plates carry his studio's stamp, and he signed the prints that were sold.
Text 2
Every mark cited is a mark of the business rather than of the hand at the camera. The studio kept four operators on wages, and the wages book puts the founder abroad for eleven of the months from which negatives survive. To catalogue the plates under his name is to record who sold the photographs.
The author of Text 2 would most likely characterise the evidence listed in Text 1 as
- fabricated at a later date by a cataloguer working from the wages book rather than from the plates themselves.
- sufficient to establish which of the four operators stood at the camera.
- bearing on the commercial origin of the images rather than on who made them.
- of no relevance to the history of the studio and its business.

Since large grazers were released into the reserve, the grassland has kept its open ground and bird counts have risen. Grazing by free-ranging animals reproduces the disturbance that shaped these habitats before farming.

The herds are held at densities a committee sets each spring, they are fed through hard winters, and no predator has been returned. What is being reproduced is a management regime with animals as its instrument. That may be the right regime — the bird counts say something — but it is not the absence of management.

Ice cores place a great eruption at 1258, and the tree-ring record shows the coldest summer of that century in 1258. Two independent archives agreeing to the year settle the date.

Schools that banned telephones report test scores rising in the following year, and districts elsewhere are copying the ban.
Text 2
Boards act after a bad year, and every one of these schools banned telephones after a year in which its scores had fallen. A set of schools picked out by an unusually low year tends to score higher the next year whether anything is done or not, since the low year was partly the luck of one cohort. The rise is in the data. So is the way the schools were chosen.
Based on the texts, the author of Text 2 would most likely say that the rise reported in Text 1
- did not in fact occur in the schools concerned.
- is what one expects of schools selected as these were, whether or not the ban did anything.
- shows that the ban lowered scores in the schools that adopted it.

A statistical study of function words assigns the anonymous pamphlet to Hale: of the twelve candidates tested, his known writings match it more closely than anyone else's, and the margin over the second-placed candidate is wide.
Text 2
The method compares a text with the candidates that are put into it. Hale comes first of twelve; whether he is close in absolute terms the study does not report, and the pamphlet's subject was being written about that year by dozens of hands, most of whom left too little prose to test. A ranking becomes an identification only when the true author is known to be on the list.
Which choice best describes how the author of Text 2 responds to Text 1?
