2 READING COMPREHENSION (lpt)
Read the passage and choose the best answer fo r each question below.
Reading to oneself is a modem 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
Trang 7libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers
Towards the end o f 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
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
81 Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because
A people relied on reading for entertainment
B silent reading had not been discovered
C there were few places available for private reading
D few people could read to themselves
82 The word “commonplace” in the first paragraph mostly means “ _ ”.
83 The development of silent reading during the last century indicated _
A an increase in the average age of readers B an increase in the number of books
C a change in the nature of reading D a change in the status of literate people
84 Silent reading, especially in public places, flourished mainly because o f
A the decreasing need to read aloud B the development o f libraries
C the increase in literacy D the decreasing number of listeners
85 It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialised reading materials
was an indication o f _
A a decline of standards of literacy B a change in the readers’ interest
C an alteration in educationalists’ attitudes D an improvement o f printing techniques
86 The phrase “a specialized readership” in paragraph 4 mostly means “ _ ”.
A a requirement for readers in a particular area o f knowledge
B a limited number of readers in a particular area of knowledge
C a reading volume for particular professionals
D a status for readers specialized in mass media
87 The phrase “oral reader” in the last paragraph mostly means “a person w ho _
A is good at public speaking B practises reading to an audience
C takes part in an audition D is interested in spoken language
Trang 888 All of the following might be the factors that affected the continuation of the old shared literacy culture EXCEPT
A the inappropriate reading skills B the specialized readership
c the diversity o f reading materials D the printed mass media
89 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 Not all printed mass media was appropriate for reading aloud.
c The decline of reading aloud was wholly due to its distracting effect
D The change in reading habits was partly due to the social, cultural and technological
changes
90 The writer of this passage is attempting to _
A explain how reading habits have developed B change people’s attitudes to reading
c show how reading methods have improved D encourage the growth of reading
