Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent”, the

film has never been, in the full sense of the word,silent From the very beginning, music was

regarded as an indispensable accompaniment; when the Lumiere films were shown at the first

public film exhibition in the United States in February 1896, they were accompanied by

piano improvisations on popular tunes At first, the music played bore no special relationship

to the films; an accompaniment of any kind was sufficient Within a very short time,

however, the incongruity of playing lively music to a solemn film became apparent, and film

pianists began to take some care in matching their pieces to the mood of the film

As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a cellist,

would be added to the pianist in certain cases, and in the larger movie theaters small

orchestras were formed For a number of years the selection of music for each film program

rested entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often the

principal qualification for holding such a position was not skill or taste so much as the

ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces Since the conductor seldom saw the

films until the night before they were to be shown (if, indeed, the conductor was lucky

enough to see them then), the musical arrangement was normally improvised in the greatest

hurry

To help meet this difficulty, film distributing companies started the practice of

publishing suggestions for musical accompaniments In 1909, for example, the Edison

Company began issuing with their films such indications of mood as “pleasant”, “sad”,

“lively” The suggestions became more explicit, and so emerged the musical cue sheet

containing indications of mood, the titles of suitable pieces of music, and precise directions to show where one piece led into the next

Certain films had music especially composed for them The most famous of these early

special scores was that composed and arranged for D.W Griffith’s film Birth of a Nation,

which was released in 1915

Question 26: The passage mainly discusses music that was

A performed before the showing of a film

B played during silent films

C recorded during film exhibitions

D specifically composed for certain movie theaters

Question 27: What can be inferred that the passage about the majority of films made after

1927?

A They were truly “silent”

B They were accompanied by symphonic orchestras

C They incorporated the sound of the actors’ voices

D They corresponded to specific musical compositions

Question 28: It can be inferred that orchestras conductors who worked in movie theaters

needed to

A be able to play many instruments B have pleasant voices

C be familiar with a wide variety of music D be able to compose original music Question 29: The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to

Question 30: According to the passage, what kind of business was the Edison Company?

A It produced electricity B It distributed films

C It published musical arrangements D It made musical instruments

Question 31: It may be inferred from the passage that the first musical cue sheets appeared

around

Question 32: Which of the following notations is most likely to have been included on a

musical cue sheet of the early 1900’s?

C “Key of C major” D “Directed by D.W Griffith’s”

Question 33: The word “scores” in paragraph 4 most likely means

C groups of musicians D musical compositions

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to

indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks

NEIGHBOURS INFLUENCE BUYING DECISIONS

However objective we believe ourselves to be, most of us do not judge a product solely

on its merits, considering quality, value and style before making a decision (34) ,

we are easily influenced by the people around us

There is nothing wrong with this It is probably a smarter way to make decisions than (35) on only our own opinions But it does make life hard for companies They have long understood that groups of friends and relatives tend to buy the same products, but understanding the reasons has been tricky It is because they are so similar with

(36) to how much money they make and what television ads they watch that they independently arrive at the same decision? Or do they copy one another, perhaps (37)

envy or perhaps because they have shared information about the products?

Research in Finland recently found overwhelming evidence that neighbours have a big influence on buying decisions When one of a person’s ten nearest neighbours bought a car, the chances (38) that person would buy a car of the same brand during the next week and a half rose by 86 per cent The researchers argued that it was not just a matter of envy Used cars seemed to attract neighbours even more than new cars This suggested that people were not trying to keep up with their neighbours, they were keen to learn from them Since used cars are less reliable, a recommendation of one can strongly influence a buying decision

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Glass is a remarkable substance made from the simplest raw materials It can be colored

or colorless, monochrome or polychrome, transparent, translucent, or opaque It is lightweight impermeable to liquids, readily cleaned and reused, durable yet fragile, and often very beautiful Glass can be decorated in multiple ways and its optical properties are exceptional In all its myriad forms - as table ware, containers, in architecture and design - glass represents a major achievement in the history of technological developments

Since the Bronze Age about 3,000 B.C., glass has been used for making various kinds

of objects It was first made from a mixture of silica, line and an alkali such as soda or potash, and these remained the basic ingredients of glass until the development of lead glass in the seventeenth century When heated, the mixture becomes soft and malleable and can be formed by various techniques into a vast array of shapes and sizes The homogeneous mass thus formed by melting then cools to create glass, but in contrast to most materials formed in this way (metals, for instance), glass lacks the crystalline structure normally associated with solids, and instead retains the random molecular structure of a liquid In effect, as molten glass cools, it progressively stiffens until rigid, but does so without setting up a network of interlocking crystals customarily associated with that process This is why glass shatters so

easily when dealt a blow Why glass deteriorates over time, especially when exposed to

moisture, and why glassware must be slowly reheated and uniformly cooled after manufacture to release internal stresses induced by uneven cooling

Another unusual feature of glass is the manner in which its viscosity changes as it turns

from a cold substance into a hot, ductile liquid Unlike metals that flow or "freeze" at specific temperatures glass progressively softens as the temperature rises, going through varying stages of malleability until it flows like a thick syrup Each stage of malleability allows the glass to be manipulated into various forms, by different techniques, and if suddenly cooled the object retains the shape achieved at that point Glass is thus amenable to a greater number

of heat-forming techniques than most other materials

Question 39: Why does the author list the characteristics of glass in paragraph 1?

A To demonstrate how glass evolved

B To show the versatility of glass

C To explain glassmaking technology

D To explain the purpose of each component of glass

different from most other rigid substances?

A It has an interlocking crystal network B It has an unusually low melting temperature

C It has varying physical properties D It has a random molecular structure

Question 42: The words "exposed to" in paragraph 2 most likely mean

A hardened by B chilled with C subjected to D deprived of Question 43: What must be done to release the internal stresses that build up in glass

products during manufacture?

A The glass must be reheated and evenly cooled

B The glass must be cooled quickly

C The glass must be kept moist until cooled

D The glass must be shaped to its desired form immediately

Question 44: The word "it" in paragraph 3 refers to

Question 45: According to the passage, why can glass be more easily shaped into specific

forms than can metals

A It resists breaking when heated

B It has better optical properties

C It retains heat while its viscosity changes

D It gradually becomes softer as its temperature rises
