A brass B woodwind C string D percussion Question 33 In paragraph 3, the author mentions diagrams as an example of a new way to A indicate how particular sounds should be produced B chart the history of innovation in musical notation C explain the logic of standard musical notation D design and develop electronic instruments Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions THE FUTURE OF NEWSPAPERS Anybody who says they can reliably forecast the future of newspapers is either a liar or a fool Look at the raw figures, and newspapers seem doomed Since 2000, the circulation of most UK national dailies has fallen by between a third and a half The authoritative Pew Research Center in the USA reports that newspapers are now the main source of news for only 26 percent of US citizens as against 45 percent in 2001 There is no shortage of prophets who confidently predict that the last printed newspaper will be safely buried within 15 years at most Yet one of the few reliable facts of history is that old media have a habit of surviving An overexuberant New York journalist announced in 1935 that books and theatre ‘have had their day’ and the daily newspaper would become ‘the greatest organ of social life’ Theatre dully withstood not only the newspaper, but also cinema and then television Radio has flourished in the TV age; cinema, in turn, has held its own against videos and DVDs Even vinyl records have made a comeback, with online sales up 745 percent since 2008 Newspapers themselves were once new media, although it took several centuries before they became the dominant medium for news This was not solely because producing up-to-date news for a large readership over a wide area became praticable and economic only in the mid-19th century, with the steam press, the railway and the telegraph Equally important was the emergence of the idea that everything around us is in constant movement and we need to be updated on its condition at regular intervals - a concept quite alien in the medieval times and probably also to most people in the early modern era Now, we expect change To our medieval ancestors, however, the only realities were the passing of the seasons, punctuated by catastrophes such as famine, flood or disease that they had no reliable means of anticipating Life, as the writer Alain de Botton puts it, was ‘ineluctably cyclical’ and ‘the most important truths were recurring’ Journalism as a full-time trade from which you could hope to make a living hardly existed before the 19th century Even then, there was no obvious reason why most people needed news on a regular basis, whether daily or weekly In some respects, regularity of newspaper publication and rigidity of format was, and remains, a burden Online news readers can dip in and out according to how they perceive the urgency of events Increasingly sophisticated search engines and algorithms allow us to personalise the news to our own priorities and interests When important stories break, internet news providers can post minute-byminute updates Error, misconception and foolish speculation can be connected or modified almost constantly There are no space restrictions to prevent narrative or analysis, and documents or events cited in news stories can often be accessed in full All this is a world away from the straitjacket of newspaper publication Yet few of any providers seem alive to the new medium’s capacity for spreading understanding and enlightenment 4/8 - Mã đề 033 - https://thi247.com/ Instead, the anxiety is always to be first with the news, to maximise reader comments, to create heat and sound and fury and thus add to the sense of confusion In the medieval world what news there was was usually exchanged amid the babble of the market place or the tarven, where truth competed with rumour, mishearing and misunderstanding In some respects, it is to that world that we seem to be returning Newspapers have never been very good- or not as good as they ought to be- at telling us how the world works Perhaps they now face extinction Or perhaps , as the internet merely adds to what de Botton discribes as our sense that we live in ‘an improvable and fundamentally chaotic universe’, they will discover that they and they alone can guide us to wisdom and understanding Question 34 Which phrase in the second paragraph has the same meaning as ‘held its own against’? A flourished B made a comeback C had their day D withstood Question 35 What does the writer suggest is the main advantage of online news sites? A The flexibility of the medium B The ease of access for their users C The breadth of their potential readership D The accuracy of the reporting Question 36 The word ‘alien’ in the passage is closest in meaning to A acceptable B ridiculous C strange D absurd Question 37 In the third paragraph, the writer stresses the importance of A a shift in people’s attitudes towards the outside world B certain key 19th century advances in mechanisation C the competition between newspapers and more established media D the challenges of news distribution in the pre-industrial era Question 38 What point is the writer making in the second paragraph? A Existing media are not necessarily replaced by new ones B Public enthusiasm for new types of media is often unpredictable C It is inevitable that most media technologies will have a limited life D The best media technologies tend to be the most long-lasting Question 39 The word ‘recurring’ in the passage is closest in meaning to A emerging B happening again C astonishing D maintaining Question 40 In the first paragragh, the writer is presenting A his interpretation of a current trend B reasons for the decline in newspaper readership C his prediction on the future of print journalism D evidence that supports a widespread view Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word CLOSEST in meaning to the underlined word in each of the following questions Question 41 The fighter plane gave pivotal assistance to the ground forces that were surrounded by the enemy A reliable B significant C compulsory D necessary Question 42 Holding copyright provides the only legal remedy against unauthorised copying A redress B relief C treatment D preparation Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions Question 43 No matter how hard Fred tried to lose weight, he did not succeed A Fred tried very hard to lose weight and succeeded B Try as Fred might, he could not lose weight C It was hard for Fred to lose weight because he never succeeded D It did not matter whether Fred could lose weight Question 44 There are several categories of people who not have to pay the new tax 5/8 - Mã đề 033 - https://thi247.com/ A There are several categories of people who are under obligation to pay the new tax B There are several categories of people who are exempt by paying the new tax C There are several categories of people who are exempt from paying the new tax D There are several categories of people who mustn’t pay the new tax Question 45 You should have persuaded him to change his mind A You persuaded him to change his mind but he didn't listen B You didn't persuade him to change because of his mind C You should persuade him to change his mind D It was essential to persuade him to change his mind but you didn’t Question 46 The woman was too weak to lift the suitcase A Such was her weakness that the woman couldn’t lift the suitcase B So weak the woman was that she couldn’t lift the suitcase C The woman shouldn’t have lifted the suitcase as she was weak D Weak though the woman was, she could lift the suitcase Question 47 He is an authority on primitive religion A He has authority over the people who practise primitive religion B He has official permission to practice primitive religion C He has a great influence on the people who practise primitive religion D He is famous for his vast knowledge of primitive religion Question 48 Due to the fact that the demand for tea was very high in the 19th century, its price was astronomical A In the 19th century the price for tea didn’t increase despite the demand B It was its astronomical price which decreased the demand for tea in the 19th century C The demand for tea was so high in the 19th century that its price was enormous D It was not until the 19th century that the demand for tea started to increase Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the most suitable response to complete each of the following exchanges Question 49 Viva and Bob have been reading about the wonders of the world Viva: “Would you say The Great Wall is among the seven man- made wonders of the world?” Bob: “ ” A Do you say so?
