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
Coral polyps and the algae living inside them trade nutrients: the algae supply sugars made by photosynthesis, and the polyp supplies shelter and the nitrogen the algae need. Neither partner does well alone in the nutrient-poor water where reefs grow. Biologists describe the arrangement as ____, since the survival of each organism depends on what the other produces.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
  1. interdependent
  2. competitive
  3. accidental
  4. temporary
Xem đáp án và lời giải

Đáp án: A. interdependent

The final clause states the constraint outright: each organism's survival depends on the other. Competitive (B) reverses the relationship, and nothing in the passage makes the exchange either accidental (C) or temporary (D).
Câu 2Nhận biếtTrắc nghiệmcó lời giải
For most of the twentieth century, textbooks presented the Sahara as a permanent desert. Sediment cores drilled from lake beds beneath the sand have since shown that the region held standing water and supported grazing herds within the last ten thousand years. The desert, in other words, is not a fixed feature of the continent but a ____ one, produced by a shift in monsoon rainfall that could reverse again.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
  1. uniform
  2. impassable
  3. changeable
  4. predictable
Xem đáp án và lời giải

Đáp án: C. changeable

The anchor is not a fixed feature… but a, so the blank must mean the opposite of fixed, and could reverse again confirms it. Uniform (A) and predictable (D) are compatible with fixity rather than opposed to it, and impassable (B) is about crossing the desert, which the passage never raises.
Câu 3Nhận biếtTrắc nghiệmcó lời giải
Bees returning to the hive perform a looping dance whose angle encodes the direction of a food source relative to the sun and whose duration encodes the distance. Hive-mates that follow the dance fly out and arrive at flowers they have never visited. The dance is thus not an expression of excitement but a ____, carrying content precise enough to be acted on by an insect that has not seen the flowers.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
  1. warning
  2. reflex
  3. rehearsal
  4. message
Xem đáp án và lời giải

Đáp án: D. message

Not an expression of excitement but a demands something that carries content, and the following clause says so explicitly. Reflex (B) is closer to the excitement reading the sentence rejects; rehearsal (C) implies practice for a later performance; warning (A) would require a threat, and the subject is food.
Câu 4Nhận biếtTrắc nghiệmcó lời giải
An eighteenth-century mapmaker working from sailors' reports drew a large island in the middle of the North Atlantic and gave it a name. Ships sent to find it in the following century returned empty-handed, but the island stayed on charts for eighty more years because each new edition was copied from the last. Its long survival on paper shows how easily an error can be ____ rather than corrected.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
  1. invented
  2. inherited
  3. exposed
  4. disputed
Xem đáp án và lời giải

Đáp án: B. inherited

Rather than corrected requires the opposite of correction, and each new edition was copied from the last names the mechanism: the error passes down. Invented (A) describes the error's origin, which the passage has already covered in the first sentence, not its survival. Exposed (C) is what the failed voyages did, and the passage stresses that exposure changed nothing.
Câu 5KhóTrắc nghiệm
Archaeologists once assumed that the stone tools found at a site were made there, since the debris of manufacture usually lies where the toolmaker sat. At one riverside site in the Rift Valley, though, the finished blades are of a rock that outcrops forty kilometres away, and not a single flake of that rock appears in the surrounding soil. The blades were therefore ____ to the site, already shaped, by people who had worked the stone somewhere else.

Câu 6KhóTrắc nghiệm
A study of urban trees found that the same species planted along a six-lane road and in a nearby park differed sharply in growth rate, and the difference did not track soil chemistry, watering, or age. What separated the two groups was compacted ground: roots under pavement could not spread, and the trees drew on a fraction of the water available to their counterparts in open soil. The road itself, then, ____ the trees' growth without ever touching their trunks.

Câu 7KhóTrắc nghiệm
Manuscript scholars have long treated marginal notes as a nuisance, evidence of readers who could not leave a text alone. A survey of annotated fifteenth-century volumes suggests another reading. Notes cluster around exactly those passages that later printed editions altered, which means the annotators were noticing the difficulties that editors would eventually resolve. Far from defacing the books, the annotators were ____ the work that professional editing would take up two generations later.

Câu 8KhóTrắc nghiệm
The first sound recordings were made not to preserve music but to test whether sound could be written down at all; the inventor of one early device expected it to be used for dictation and was puzzled when customers asked for songs. The market settled the machine's purpose without consulting him. Its history is a reminder that the use a technology finds is often ____ the use its maker imagined.

Câu 9KhóTrắc nghiệm
Volcanic ash layers are useful to archaeologists because a single eruption spreads a chemically distinctive band across hundreds of kilometres in a matter of days. Two sites separated by a mountain range and excavated by teams who never met can be tied to the same year if both contain the same ash. The layers function as ____ across otherwise unconnected excavations, fixing sequences that pottery styles alone leave loose.

A hospital that redesigned its discharge paperwork found that readmission rates fell, though nothing about the medical care had changed. Patients who left with instructions written in short sentences and plain words filled their prescriptions more often and returned to the emergency department less. The intervention was ____: it altered no treatment and cost almost nothing, yet it changed what happened after patients went home.

Câu 11Rất khóTrắc nghiệm
Reconstructions of past climate often rely on tree rings, but a ring records only the part of the year when the tree is growing. In regions where most precipitation falls in winter, the ring reports the growing months faithfully and says nothing whatever about the months that supplied most of the water. Researchers who combine ring widths with lake sediments are not correcting an error in the rings, which are accurate about everything they cover; they are compensating for a record that is ____ by the season in which it is written.

Câu 12Rất khóTrắc nghiệm
A philosopher writing in the 1950s argued that a promise is not a report of a future action but the act of undertaking it: saying the words does not describe a commitment, it creates one. Later critics pointed out that the same holds for far more utterances than he had listed, including verdicts, apologies, and christenings. Their objection ____ his account rather than overturning it, since every case they added obeyed the rule he had stated but fell outside the list he had drawn.

Câu 13Rất khóTrắc nghiệm
The score of a Baroque concerto specifies pitches and rhythms but leaves out most of what a modern audience would call interpretation: how loud, how fast, how much ornament. Performers of the period supplied these from convention, and the conventions went unwritten because everyone in the room already had them. A historically informed performance today is therefore an act of ____, since the missing layer has to be rebuilt from treatises, letters, and inference before a note is played.

Câu 14Rất khóTrắc nghiệm
Economists studying a national scheme that paid households to insulate their homes found that energy use fell far less than the engineering estimates had predicted. Households that could suddenly afford to keep the whole house warm did so, spending part of the saving on comfort rather than banking it. The engineers' figures were not miscalculated; they were ____, treating behaviour as fixed when the intervention was precisely what changed it.

Curators preparing a retrospective of a photographer known for street portraits found in her archive several hundred negatives of empty doorways, walls, and pavements, none of them printed in her lifetime. Set beside the portraits, the empty frames look less like discards than like practice: the same corners, the same light, photographed on days when nobody stood there. The exhibition presents them as ____ to the portraits rather than as failures, evidence of a method usually invisible in finished work.

Câu 16Rất khóTrắc nghiệm
For decades the standard account held that writing was invented to record poetry and law. The earliest tablets from Mesopotamia, once deciphered, turned out to list quantities of grain, oil, and livestock, and to name the officials answerable for them; literature appears in the record several centuries later. The evidence does not show that early societies had no interest in poetry. It shows that the technology was ____ by an accounting problem, and only afterwards borrowed for anything else.
