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 (sư đông bô hoá ) Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922 This system eventually brought us 'talking pictures' 61 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 62 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 63 The word 'screenings' in is closest in meaning to A projections B revelations C demonstrations D diversions 64 Which of the following is not mentioned as a producer o! sound to accompany movies?
