the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval words, 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 increases, the number of potential listeners decline 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 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 specialized 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 Question 64:

use Question 66: Silent reading, especially in public places, flourished mainly because of A the increase in literacy B the decreasing need to read aloud C the decreasing number of listeners D the development of libraries Question 67: It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialized reading materials was an indication of A a change in the reader’s interest B a decline of standards of literacy C an alteration in educationalists’ attitudes D an improvement of printing techniques Question 68: The phrase “a specialized readership” in paragraph mostly means “ ” A a limited number of readers in a particular area of knowledge B a requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge C a status for reader specialized in mass media D a reading volume for particular professionals Question 69: All of the following might be the factors that effected the continuation of the old shard literacy culture EXCEPT A the print mass media B the specialized readership C the inappropriate reading skills D the diversity of reading materials Question 70: The writer of this passage is attempting to A show how reading methods have improved B explain how reading habits have
