VI.Read the passage and answer the question that follow
Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as
"silent," the film has never been, in the full sense of the word, silent From the very
beginning, music was regarded as an indispensable accompaniment ; when the
Lumiere films were shown at the first public film exhibition in the Unites States in
February 1896, they were accompanied by piano improvisations on popular tunes
Trang 6Nguồn: Diemthi.24h.com.vn
At first, the music played bore no special relationship to the films ; an
accompaniment of any kind was sufficient
Within a very short time, however, the incongruity of playing lively music to a
solemn film became apparent, and film pianists began to take some care in
matching their pieces to the mood of the film
As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a
cellist, would be added to the pianist in certain cases, and in the larger movie
theaters small orchestras were formed For a number of years the selection of music
for each film program rested entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the
orchestra, and very often the principal qualification for holding such a position was
not skill or taste
so much as the ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces Since the
conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be shown (if,
indeed, the conductor was lucky enough to see them then), the musical arrangement
was normally improvised in the greatest hurry
To help meet this difficulty, film distributing companies started the practice
of publishing suggestions for musical accompaniments In 1909, for example, the
Edison Company began issuing with their films such indications of mood as
"pleasant," "sad," "lively." The suggestions became more explicit, and so emerged
the musical cue sheet containing indications of mood, the titles of suitable pieces of
music, and precise directions to show where one piece led into the next
Certain films had music especially composed for them The most famous of these
early special scores was that composed and arranged for D.W Griffith's film Birth
of a Nation, which was released in 1915
61 The passage mainly discusses music that was
A performed before the showing of a film B played during
silent films
C specifically composed for certain movie theaters D recorded during
film exhibitions
62 What can be inferred from the passage about the majority of films made after
1927 ?
A They were truly "silent." B They were
accompanied by symphonic orchestras
C They incorporated the sound of the actors' voices D They corresponded to
specific musical compositions
63 The word "solemn" is closest in meaning to
A simple B serious C short
D silent
64 It can be inferred that orchestra conductors who worked in movie theaters
needed to
A be able to play many instruments B have pleasant
voices
C be familiar with a wide variety of music D be able to
compose original music
65 The word "them" refers to
Trang 7Nguồn: Diemthi.24h.com.vn
A years B hands C pieces D films
66 According to the passage, what kind of business was the Edison Company?
A It produced electricity B It distributed
films
C It published musical arrangements D It made musical
instruments
67 It may be inferred from the passage that the first musical cue sheets appeared
around
A 1896 B 1909 C 1915 D 1927
68 Which of the following notations is most likely to have been included on a
musical cue sheet of the early 1900's?
A "Calm, peaceful" B "Piano, violin"
C "Key of C major" D "Directed by D.W Griffith"
69 The word "scores" is closest in meaning to
A totals B successes C musical compositions D
groups of musicians
70 The passage probably continues with a discussion of
A famous composers of the early twentieth century B other films directed by
D.W Griffith
C silent films by other directors D the music in Birth of a
Nation
VII Read the passage and answer the question that follow
Marianne Moore (1887-1972) once said that her writing could be called poetry only
because there was no other name for it Indeed her poems appear to be extremely
compressed essays that happen to be printed in jagged lines on the page Her
subject were varied: animals, laborers, artists, and the craft of poetry From her
general reading came quotations that she found striking or insightful She included
these in her poems, scrupulously enclosed in quotation marks, and
sometimes identified in footnotes Of this practice, she wrote, " 'Why many
quotation marks?' I am asked When a thing has been so well that it could not be
said better, why paraphrase it? Hence, my writing is, if not a cabinet of fossils, a
kind of collection of flies in amber." Close observation and concentration on detail
and the methods of her poetry
Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, near St Lois After graduation
from Bryn Mawr College in 1909, she taught commercial subjects at the Indian
School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania Later she became a librarian in New York
City During the 1920’s she was editor of The Dial, an important literary magazine
of the period She lived quietly all her life, mostly in Brooklyn, New York She
spent a lot of time at the Bronx Zoo, fascinated by animals Her admiration of the
Brooklyn Dodgers-before the teammoved to Los Angeles-was widely known
Her first book of poems was published in London in 1921 by a group of friends
associated with the Imagist movement From that time on her poetry has been read
with interest by succeeding generations of poets and readers In 1952 she was
awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her Collected Poems She wrote that she did not write
poetry "for money or fame To earn a living is needful, but it can be done in routine

II Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions
In the world today, particular in the two most industrialized areas, North
America and Europe, recycling is the big news People are talking about it,
practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment
Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time The motto of the
recycling movement is “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”
The first step is to reduce garbage In stores, a shopper has to buy products in
blister packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings A hamburger from a fast food
restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box and a bag All that
packaging is wasted resources People should try to buy things that are wrapped
simply, and to reuse cups and utensils Another way to reduce waste is to buy
high-quality products When low-high-quality appliances break, many customers throw them
away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy For example, if
a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the
manufacturer receives an important message In the same way, if a customer
chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to
the manufacturers To reduce garbage, the throw-away must stop
The second step is to reuse It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable
bottles After customers empty the bottles, they return them to the stores The
manufacturers of the drinks collect bottles, wash them, and then fill them again The
energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved In some parts of the world,
returning bottles for money is a common practice In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throw-away bottles
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle Spent motor oil can
be cleaned and used again Aluminum cans are expensive to make It takes the same
amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for
three hours When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help
save one of the world’s
precious resources
6 It is a waste when customers buy low-quality products because _
A they will soon throw them away B they have to be repaired many
times
C customers always change their idea D they are very cheap
7 The word “motto” is closest in meaning to _
8 People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT _
A buy high-quality products B buy simply-wrapped things
