large movie theaters could buy sound-effects machines Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly 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 invented gramophone, 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, for Trang 4/5 – M· ®Ò thi 136 example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence In the “sound-on-film” system, sounds were 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 Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922 This system eventually brought us “talking pictures” Câu 71: The passage is mainly about the A development of sound with movies B research into reproduction C disadvantages of synchronized sound D history of silent movies Câu 72: According to the passage, films using sound effects were screened A in 1927 B as early as 1896 C as early as 1922 D before 1896 Câu 73: It can be inferred that _ A orchestras couldn’t synchronize sound with the pictures B sound-effects machines were not common because they were expensive C gramophones were developed about the same time as moving pictures D most movie theaters had a pianist Câu 74: According to the passage, gramophones were ineffective because they A were too large for most movie theaters B got out of synchronization with the picture C were newly invented and still bad imperfections D changed speeds when the needle jumped Câu 75: According to the passage, sound-on-film guaranteed synchronization because the recording was A read by an optical sensor B made during the filming of the picture C inserted beside the image on the film D marked on the gramophone VIII Chọn phương án (A, B, C D) ứng với câu tốt tạo từ từ cho sẵn Câu 76: teacher / suggest / Tom / more / reading A The teacher suggested Tom does some more reading B The teacher suggested Tom doing some more reading C Teacher suggested Tom some more reading D The teacher suggested Tom some more reading Câu 77: big / problem / face / youth / unemploy A One of the biggest problems faced by the youth of today is unemployment B One big problem facing the youth today is unemployed C Big problem faced by the youth today is unemployment D One of the biggest problem facing the youth today is unemployment Câu 78: I / rather / you / not make / noise A I’d rather you didn’t make so many noise B I had rather you didn’t make so much noise C I’d rather you not make so much noise D I would rather you didn’t make so much noise Câu 79: I / used / swimming / every morning / I / be / child A I got used to swimming every morning when I was child B I used to go swimming every morning when I was a child C I used to going swimming every morning when I was a child D I am used to swimming every morning when I am a child Câu 80: party/ be much / interest / than / I expect A The party was much more interesting than I had expected B The party was much more interesting than I expect C The party was much more interested than I had expected D The party was much interesting than I had expected -THE END Trang 5/5 – M· ®Ò thi 136 §¸P ¸N Mà ĐỀ 136 1C 17D 33C 49A 65D 2A 18C 34B 50B 66D 3D 19B 35C 51D 67C 4A 20B 36A 52A 68B 5B 21D 37A 53C 69B 6D 22B 38D 54D 70C 7D 23D 39A 55D 71A 8C 24D 40D 56C 72B 9A 25B 41A 57A 73C 10B 26D 42A 58C 74B 11A 27C 43C 59D 75C 12B 28B 44A 60C 76D 13C 29C 45D 61B 77A 14A 30B 46B 62B 78D 15B 31D 47D 63A 79B 16A 32B 48B 64B 80A Trang 6/5 – M· ®Ò thi 136 ...
