Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
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 Unites 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 35 The passage mainly discusses music that was _
A performed before the showing of a film B played during silent films
C specifically composed for certain movie theaters D recorded during film exhibitions
Question 36 What can be inferred from the passage about the majority of films made after 1927? A They were truly "silent."
(4)Question 37 The word "solemn" is closest in meaning to _.
A simple B serious C short D silent
Question 38 It can be inferred that orchestra 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 39 The word "them" refers to _
A years B hands C pieces D films
Question 40 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 41 It may be inferred from the passage that the first musical cue sheets appeared around _
A 1896 B 1909 C 1915 D 1927
Question 42 Which of the following notations is most likely to have been included on a musical cue sheet of the early 1900's?
A "Calm, peaceful" B "Piano, violin"
C "Key of C major" D "Directed by D.W Griffith" Question 43 The word "scores" is closest in meaning to _.
A totals B successes
C musical compositions D groups of musicians Question 44 The passage probably continues with a discussion of _.
A famous composers of the early twentieth century B other films directed by D.W Griffith C silent films by other directors D the music in Birth of a Nation
Read the following passage on transport, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from to 54
Most journeys in Britain and the US are made by road Some of these are made on public transport but most are by private car
In Britain many people rely on their cars for daily local activities, e.g getting to work, doing the shopping, and visiting friends People living in urban areas may use buses, trains or, in London, the Underground, to get to city centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy and it is difficult to find anywhere to park a car Some places in the country may have a bus only two or three times a week so people living there have no choice but to rely on their cars
In the US large cities have good public transportation systems The El railroad in Chicago and the underground systems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC are heavily used Elsewhere, most Americans prefer to use their cars Families often have two cars and, outside major cities, have to drive fairly long distances to schools, offices, shops, banks, etc Many college and even high-school students have their own cars
(5)In the US much long-distance travel is by air America has two main long-distance bus companies, Greyhound and Trailways Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers Private railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes by road
The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congestion and pollution It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by a third within a few years, making both these problems worse The British government would like more people to use public transport, but so far they have had little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides with neighbours Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough Americans too have resisted government requests to share cars because it is less convenient and restricts their freedom Petrol/gasoline is relatively cheap in the US and outside the major cities public transport is bad, so they see no reason to use their cars less
(Extracted from Oxford Guide to British and American Culture, Oxford University Press, 2000) Question 45: In Britain and the US most people travel by

Question 46: According to the passage, people in London may prefer the Underground to their own cars due to _

A Few college students in the US have their own cars B Families in the US often have more than one car
C Most Americans prefer to drive their cars outside large cities D The underground systems are popular in some major US cities
Question 49: The phrase “at their own convenience” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _
A at the latest time and nearest place B at an appropriate time and place C at an early time and nearby place D at the fastest time and nearest place Question 50: Which of the following is true about transport in Britain?
A Long-distance travel in Britain is only by road

Schools are also teaching cognitive skills to the (57) 40 percent of American students who not go on to higher education In the (58) _ of a recent report by the Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills, “A strong back, the willingness to work, and a high school diploma were once all that was necessary to (59) _ a start in America They are no longer A well-developed mind, a continued willingness to learn and the ability to put knowledge to work are the new keys (60) the future of our young people, the success of our business, and the economic well-being of the nation.” (Extracted from InfoUSA – CD Version)
