Mã đề thi 978 Đọc kỹ đoạn văn sau chọn phương án (A B, C, D) cho câu từ 36 đến 45 Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the other By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader The social, cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied Câu 36: Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because A people relied on reading for entertainment B there were few places available for private reading C few people could read to themselves D silent reading had not been discovered Câu 37: The word “commonplace” in the first paragraph mostly means “ ” A attracting attention B most preferable C widely used D for everybody’s use Câu 38: The development of silent reading during the last century indicated A a change in the nature of reading B an increase in the average age of readers C an increase in the number of books D a change in the status of literate people Câu 39: Silent reading, especially in public places, flourished mainly because of A the development of libraries B the increase in literacy C the decreasing need to read aloud D the decreasing number of listeners Câu 40: It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialised reading materials was an indication of A an alteration in educationalists’ attitudes B a decline of standards of literacy C a change in the readers’ interest D an improvement of printing techniques Câu 41: The phrase “a specialised readership” in paragraph mostly means “ ” A a requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge B a limited number of readers in a particular area of knowledge C a status for readers specialised in mass media D a reading volume for particular professionals Câu 42: The phrase “oral reader” in the last paragraph mostly means “a person who ” A practises reading to an audience B is interested in spoken language C is good at public speaking D takes part in an audition Câu 43: All of the following might be the factors that affected the continuation of the old shared literacy culture EXCEPT A the diversity of reading materials B the specialised readership C the inappropriate reading skills D the printed mass media Câu 44: Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A Reading aloud was more common in the past than it is today B The decline of reading aloud was wholly due to its distracting effect C Not all printed mass media was appropriate for reading aloud D The change in reading habits was partly due to the social, cultural and technological changes Câu 45: The writer of this passage is attempting to A explain how reading habits have developed B show how reading methods have improved C change people’s attitudes to reading D encourage the growth of reading Trang 3/5 -
