Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927 But sound
films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings From the earliest public
performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects These were produced by asingle pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effectmachines Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called'synchronized sound' – began soon after the very first films were shown With synchronized sound,characters on the movie screen could sing and speak As early as 1896, the newly inventedgramophone (máy hát), which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound
system The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, forexample, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed This system was onlyeffective for a single song or dialogue sequence
In the 'sound-on-film' system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could
be read by an optical sensor These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image,
guaranteeing synchronization (sự đồng bộ hoá ) Short feature films were produced in this way as early as
1922 This system eventually brought us 'talking pictures'

B sound-effects machines were not common because they were expensive
C orchestras couldn't synchronize sound with the pictures
D gramophones were developed about the same time as moving pictures
76 According to the passage, gramophones were ineffective because they
A got out of synchronization with the picture B were too large for most movie theaters
C were newly invented and still had imperfections D changed speeds when the needle jumped
77 The word 'sequence' is closest in meaning to
A interpretation B progression C distribution D organization
