XVI, Read the passage, then choose the correct answer.
Exercise 1
In the 20th century, magazines have been a major growth area of popular publishing Specialist magazines cater to every imaginable field and activity In the United Kingdom, over 12,000 periodicals, magazines, bulletins, annuals, trade journals, and academic journals are published on a regular basis There are some 40 women's magazines and over 60 dealing with particular sports, games, hobbies, and pastimes Although some US magazines, such as The Saturday Evening Post, has succumbed to competition of television, many continue "to have enormous international circulations, The Reader's Digest over 16 million, The National Geographic over 10 million For many people, magazines have been the most available and widely used form of continuing education, providing information about history, geography, literature, science, and the arts, as well as guidance on gardening, cooking, home decorating, financial management, psychology, even marriage and family life
Until the rise of television, magazines were the most available form of cheap, convenient entertainment in the English-speaking world Radio served a similar function, but it was more limited in what it could do Magazines and television, however, both address the more powerful visual sense During the third quarter of the 20th century, coincident with a dramatic rise in the popularity of television, many general-interest, especially illustrated magazines went out of business The shift in attention of a mass, audience from reading such magazines to watching television has been a major factor in this decline, but it is an implicit tribute from television
to the older genre that its programs are generally organized in a single format and content
1 From the passage, it can be inferred that
a movies have replaced magazines
b the author is fond of magazines
c almost all magazines are printed in English
d home decorating magazine are dramatic
2 According to the passage, which of the following magazines is no longer printed?
a The Saturday Evening Post b The Reader's Digest
c The Nation d The National Geographic
3 The passage implies that magazines
a are less visual than radio b put television out of business
c influence television programs d have a limited range of subjects
4 The passage mainly discusses
a the rise and fall of the radio business
Trang 9b the growth and decline of magazines in the 20 century
c magazines and continuing education
d the decline of international circulation
5 What does the author say about mass audiences?
a They have little influence on communications in the 20th century
b They have gone out of business
c They get information about gardening and psychology from radio
d They have shifted their attention from magazines to television
Exercise 2
There is one planet that still fascinates and teases scientists mainly because it doesn't have an atmosphere to 9bscure observation, yet it is not big enough for sufficiently accurate telescopic observation The fact that it is also very close to the sun also makes it difficult for astronomers
However, space telescopes have told us a lot more about Mercury It is rather similar to Earth's moon and to Mars There are mountainous areas dotted with craters and large valleys which are uncratered The moon's valleys have fewer cracks and the ridges are smoother Mercury's valleys are filled with volcanic rocks, similar to on the moon, yet there is no evidence of volcanoes, even extinct ones, on Mercury, as there is on the both Mars and the moon, and of course here on Earth
So, scientists presume the valleys on Mercury were caused by different things, that is to say not by volcanoes, but by very large meteorites, which also caused the cracks in the terrain and left the ridges rough and uneven More and better photos of Mercury are needed to prove what are at present at best only hypotheses
1 What is the topic of this passage?
a The planet, Mercury b Observation of planets
c The Earth's moon d Astronomers' difficulties
2 Why does Mercury still tease scientists?
a Because it has an atmosphere which obscures observation:
b Because it is too close to the sun;
c Because it is too small
d Because it is difficult for space probes to get close to
3 What is true about Mercury but not true about the moon or Mars?
a The valleys are filled with volcanic rocks b There are no volcanoes
c The valleys are uncratered d There are hilly regions
4 What does the author imply space telescopes can do better than land-based telescopes?
a Show, the volcanoes on Mercury
b Show the meteorites which hit Mercury
c Show what caused Mercury's valleys
d Show more of the planet, Mercury
5 What can we infer from the passage that astronomers still need to get more detailed observation of Mercury?
a Better and more space telescopes b More hypotheses
c Larger space telescopes d More ways to prove hypotheses
Exercise 3 Choose the word - a, b, c or d - that best fits the blank space in the following passage.
Is there life on Mars? Many people have (36) _ about this question Some writers of science-fiction think of people from Mars (37) _ little green creatures Others imagine 'Martians' as monsters with many eyes
