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.
Đọc kỹ hơn: quy trình 4 bước làm Words in Context.

Câu 1Nhận biếtTrắc nghiệmcó lời giải
Foresters once measured the health of a plantation by the growth of its tallest trees, on the assumption that the tallest were the fittest and the rest were losers in a competition for light. Tracing labelled sugars through the fungal threads that run from root to root has complicated that picture: carbon fixed in the canopy turns up within days in seedlings too shaded to make their own. The stand behaves less like a field of rivals than like a ____ in which the strongest members subsidise the weakest.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
- hierarchy
- network
- sequence
- market
Xem đáp án và lời giải
Đáp án: B. network
Sugar moves along threads that physically connect one tree to another, and the blank has to name the shape that connection gives the stand — a set of linked members, that is, a network. Hierarchy (A) names a ranking, which is exactly the rejected picture of tall winners and shaded losers. Market (D) requires an exchange for value, and the passage describes a one-way subsidy. Sequence (C) orders items in a line and says nothing about connection.
Bẫy: Đọc thấy “strongest subsidise the weakest” là nghĩ tới thứ bậc. Nhưng thứ bậc chính là hình ảnh mà đoạn văn vừa bác bỏ; cái mới nằm ở chỗ các cây được nối với nhau.
Câu 2Nhận biếtTrắc nghiệmcó lời giải
A dictionary of a language with no written tradition cannot be compiled by reading. The lexicographer records speech, and speech supplies a word only when something calls for it; a term for a tool used once a year in one village may never surface in eight months of recording. The resulting dictionary is therefore not a portrait of the language but a record of the ____ the fieldworker happened to witness, and its gaps say as much about the calendar of the fieldwork as about the vocabulary.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
- errors
- rules
- dialects
- occasions
Xem đáp án và lời giải
Đáp án: D. occasions
The sentence before the blank explains that a word appears only when a situation calls for it, so what the fieldworker witnesses is a set of situations, and the calendar of the fieldwork confirms that timing is the issue. Rules (B) would make the dictionary a grammar. Errors (A) has no support anywhere in the passage. Dialects (C) would need variation between speech communities, and the passage never raises more than one.
Câu 3Nhận biếtTrắc nghiệmcó lời giải
When a museum acquires a painting whose varnish has yellowed, removing that varnish is usually described as a return to the artist's intention. Conservators point out that the phrase hides a decision. Varnish darkens slowly, and the painter looked at his own picture through darkening varnish for most of his life; stripping every layer produces a surface that no viewer, the artist included, ever saw. Cleaning is therefore less a recovery of an original than the ____ of one, carried out by people who must decide which decade of the painting's life counts as its true state.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
- construction
- preservation
- duplication
- discovery
Xem đáp án và lời giải
Đáp án: A. construction
The blank has to name what conservators do instead of recovering something, and the closing clause says they decide which state counts as true — they build the original rather than find it. Preservation (B) and discovery (D) both assume the surface existed to be kept or found, which the passage denies in the words no viewer ever saw. Duplication (C) needs a model to copy, and the whole point is that there is none.
Câu 4KhóTrắc nghiệmcó lời giải
Economists studying the spread of mobile money in East Africa expected the main benefit to appear in savings, since a phone account is safer than cash under a mattress. Household surveys found savings barely moved. What changed was how fast money reached a household after a shock: a relative in a city could send funds the same day a harvest failed, where before the money travelled with a person on a bus. The sums sent were no larger than the ones the bus had carried; they simply arrived within hours instead of weeks. The technology's contribution was therefore not to raise the stock of money a family held but to ____ the flow a family could summon, and standard measures of wealth are not built to record that.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
- restrict
- enlarge
- quicken
- measure
Xem đáp án và lời giải
Đáp án: C. quicken
The one thing that changed was timing — within hours instead of weeks — so the blank names an increase in speed. Enlarge (B) is shut out by the sentence that says the sums sent were no larger than before; the flow moved faster, not bigger. Restrict (A) points the wrong way. Measure (D) would make the technology an observer, and the final clause says measurement is precisely what is missing.
Bẫy: Cả “enlarge” lẫn “quicken” đều là hướng tốt lên. Đoạn văn đã khoá lại: số tiền gửi không lớn hơn trước, chỉ tới nhanh hơn — nên chỉ còn chiều tốc độ.
Câu 5KhóTrắc nghiệm
The standard history of the factory clock treats it as an instrument imposed on workers from above. Records from three early mills complicate the direction of that imposition. Workers petitioned repeatedly for a clock visible from the shop floor, and the disputes that reached the courts were brought by workers who suspected the owner of moving the hands on the single clock in the building. What the clock supplied to both sides was a ____ that neither could adjust in private, and it is that quality, rather than the discipline of fixed hours, that the petitions ask for.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
- precedent
- convenience
- punishment

Câu 6KhóTrắc nghiệm
A drug that failed its trial was shelved for a decade before a second team noticed something in the original data. The compound had done nothing in the population as a whole, but in the fifth of patients carrying one variant of a liver enzyme it had worked well, and that subgroup was too small to move the overall figure. The first trial was not wrong about what it measured. Its result was an average, and an average taken over two unlike groups can be ____ even though every number inside it is correct.

Câu 7KhóTrắc nghiệm
Photographs of nineteenth-century cities are often read as documents of emptiness: a wide avenue, two or three figures, a cart, a dog. Exposure time explains most of the vacancy. A plate that needed twenty seconds recorded only what stood still, so a pavement crowded with walking people left no trace at all while a lamppost came out sharp. The quiet of these streets is thus an artefact of the ____ rather than a fact about the traffic.

Câu 8KhóTrắc nghiệm
A translator who reproduces a poem's metre exactly must usually abandon its images, and one who keeps the images loses the metre; no translation holds both. Critics treat the trade-off as a defect of translation. It is better understood as a property of the original: the poem's effect depends on metre and image arriving together, which is possible only in the language that made them fit. Translation is therefore a ____ rather than a failure, since it makes visible a bond between sound and sense that the original hides by satisfying both at once.

Ecologists who cleared an invasive shrub from a stretch of riverbank expected native plants to return. Two years later the bank was dominated by a second non-native species that had been present all along in small numbers and had been held down by the shrub. The clearance did not restore the community. It ____ a competitor that the first invader had been suppressing, and the managers now face a plant that spreads faster than the one they removed.

Câu 10KhóTrắc nghiệm
A museum that began publishing high-resolution images of its collection free of charge expected requests for paid reproductions to collapse. Licensing income did fall, as predicted. Requests to see the objects themselves rose sharply over the same three years, and the largest increase came from visitors who said they had first met the works on screen. For this museum at least, the free image did not ____ the object; it advertised it.

Câu 11KhóTrắc nghiệm
Seismologists once treated the small tremors that precede some large earthquakes as a promising warning sign. A catalogue covering forty years shows that such tremors precede a large quake about as often as they precede nothing at all. The signal is real and is recorded accurately; what it lacks is ____, since an alarm that sounds in most quiet weeks costs more to obey than to ignore.

Câu 12Rất khóTrắc nghiệm
Historians of medicine often describe the nineteenth-century hospital as the birthplace of modern diagnosis, and the description is fair as far as instruments go. But the wards also gathered, for the first time, hundreds of patients with the same complaint under one roof, and it was that gathering rather than any instrument that made the ordinary course of a disease visible. A physician in private practice saw one case of a fever and could not tell which of its features belonged to the fever and which to the patient. The hospital's contribution was less technological than ____: it supplied the numbers from which a typical case could be abstracted.

Câu 13Rất khóTrắc nghiệm
A study of retracted papers found that articles withdrawn for fraud go on being cited for years, usually by authors who show no sign of knowing about the retraction. The obvious remedy, a more prominent retraction notice, assumes the citing authors are reading the article. Most are not: they are copying it from a reference list in a second paper they have read. The chain that carries a discredited claim forward runs through citations rather than through readings, so a notice fixed to the article is ____ to the people who keep the claim in circulation.

Câu 14Rất khóTrắc nghiệm
An architectural historian arguing that a cathedral's west front was designed by one hand points to the consistency of its mouldings. A rival points to the fabric accounts, which name four master masons across sixty years. Neither piece of evidence touches the other. Consistency of style is evidence about a workshop's practice; the accounts are evidence about employment, and a workshop can outlive its masters while a master can inherit a drawing. The disagreement is therefore not empirical but ____, and no further document will settle it until the two sides agree what “designed by one hand” would have to mean.

Câu 15Rất khóTrắc nghiệm
Reviewers of a novel written entirely in short declarative sentences praised its restraint, and the word has stayed attached to the book for fifty years. Restraint implies a stronger impulse held back. The manuscripts show no such impulse: the drafts are shorter and flatter than the published text, which the author lengthened at his editor's insistence. Whatever the prose does to a reader, it was not produced by ____, and the critical vocabulary has spent half a century describing an effect as if it were a method.

A city that publishes the wait time at each of its clinics on a live map found that the waits levelled out within a month and then began to swing. Patients reading the map went to the shortest queue, arrived together, and made it the longest; the next hour's readers avoided that clinic and emptied it. The map was accurate at every moment and wrong about the moment that mattered, because it reported a state that its own readers would ____ before any of them arrived.

Câu 17Rất khóTrắc nghiệm
A treaty is usually read as the end of a negotiation and its clauses as the terms both sides accepted. Diplomatic historians working from the drafting files argue for a different reading of ambiguous clauses in particular. Where a phrase can be taken two ways, the drafts often show that both delegations noticed the ambiguity and preferred it to the alternative, which was no agreement at all. The disagreement went into the text intact, to be fought again whenever the clause was invoked. Such a clause records not a shared understanding but a shared ____, and reading it as consensus imports a meeting of minds the parties took care not to have.

Field guides render birdsong as syllables — teakettle, drink-your-tea — and birders learn them easily, then find that the birds do not comply. Spectrograms show why. The syllables encode rhythm well and pitch badly, and two species whose songs share a rhythm are told apart by pitch alone. The mnemonic is not false, and it never sends a birder to the wrong species; it is ____, and a birder who trusts it will separate the songs that differ in the one dimension it records and hear no difference at all among the rest.
