Read the following passage and Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answers to each of the question.
Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace
One should very wary, however, of amusing that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that it became the unusual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character
The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in the need of to read aloud As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable arguments over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening
Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for specialized readership on the other By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were
inappropriate, if not possible, for the oral reader The social, cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied
33 Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because…
A Few people could read to themselves.
B There were few places available for private reading
C Silent reading had not been discovered
D People relied on reading for entertainment
34 The word “commonplace’ in the first paragraph mostly means
A Attracting attention C most referable
B For everybody’s use D wildly used
35 The development of silent reading during the last century indicated
Trang 5A An increase in the number of books C a change in the status of literate people
B An increase in the average age of readers D a change in the nature of reading
36 It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialized reading materials was
an indication of _
A A decline of standards of literacy C a change in the status of literate people
B An increase in the average age of readers D a change in the nature of reading
37 The phrase “a specialized readership” in para 4 mostly means
A A status for readers specialized in mass media
B A limited number of readers in a particular area of knowledge.
C A requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge
D A reading volume for particular professionals
38 All the following may be the factors that affected the continuation of the old shared literacy
culture EXCEPT
A The inappropriate reading skills C the diversity of reading material
B The printed mass media D the specialized readership
39 Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A Reading aloud was more common in the past than it is today
B The decline of reading aloud was wholly due to its distracting effect.
C The change in reading habits was partly due to the social, cultural and technological
changes
D Not all printed mass media was appropriate for reading aloud
40 The writer of this passage is attempting to
A Show how reading methods have improved
B Explain how reading habits have developed.
C Change people’s attitudes to reading
