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 a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines 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 invented gramophone (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, for 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, 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'
1 The passage is mainly about the
A history of silent movies B disadvantages of synchronized sound
C development of sound with movies D research into sound reproduction According to the passage, films using sound effects were screened
A before 1896 B as early as 1896 C as early as 1922 D in 1927
3 Which of the following is not mentioned as a producer of sound to accompany movies?
A a jazz singer B single pianist C a small band D a gramophone
4 It can be inferred that
A most movie theaters had a pianist
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 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
(6)Rivers are _1 _ of the world's most important natural resources Many cities are on large rivers, and almost every country has _2 least one river that an important part in the lives of its people
