SECTION B

Read the following passage carefully, then choose the best answer to each question.

Up to about 1915, movies were short and programs were made up of several works Then, D.W Griffith and others began making longer films which provided the same powerful emotional appeal as did melodrama and presented spectacles far beyond what the theater could offer Consequently, after World War I increasing numbers of spectators deserted the theater for the movies

This trend was accelerated in the late 1920’s as a result of two new elements In 1972 sound was added to the previously silent film, and thus one of the theater’s principal claims to superiority vanished In 1929 a serious economic depression began Since audiences could go to the movies for a fraction of what it cost to see a play, theater-going became a luxury which few could afford, especially as the depression deepened

By the end of World War II, the American theater had been reduced to about thirty theaters in New York City and a small number of touring companies originating there

21) One thing that movies could do better than the theater was …

A/ provide longer programs

B/ provide emotional appeal

C/ provide more melodrama

D/ provide greater spectacles

22) Up to the 1920’s one objection to films was that …

A/ they were too short

B/ they were silent.

C/ they were too expensive

D/ they did not tell a complete story

23) One thing that made people choose the movies over the theater was …

A/ World War I

B/ the fact that films were less expensive

C/ the fact that films were silent

D/ the fact that films were shorter

24) By the end of World War II …

A/ theater had become entertainment for the mass

B/ theater-going was no longer considered a luxury

C/ professional theatrical performances outside of New York City

25) When the author of this paragraph says “this trend was accelerated in the late 1920’s, he means that …

A/ many more people went to the theater than to the movies

B/ the shift away from the movies to the theater was slowed down

C/ the popularity of the theater was gradually increasing

D/ the shift away from the theater to the movies was speeded up
