XII. Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best answers the question about the passage:
Up to about 1915, movies were short and programmes were made up of several works. Then, D. W. Griffith and
others began to make longer films which provided the same powerful emotional appeal as did melodrama and
presented spectacles far beyond what the theatre could offer. Consequently, after World War I, increasing numbers
of spectators deserted the theatre for the movies. This trend was accelerated in the late 1920's as a result of two new
elements. In 1927, sound was added to the previously silent film, and thus one of the theatre's principle 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, theatre-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 theatres in
New York City and a small number of touring companies originating fhere.

A. provide longer programs.

D. provide greater spectacle.

A. they were too short.
B. they were silent.
C. they were too expensive.
D. they did not tell a complete story.


3. One thing that made people choose the movies over the theatre 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.
4. By the end of World War II.......
A. theatre had become entertainment for the masses.
B. the theatre was no longer considered a luxury.
C. professional theatrical performances were confined mainly to New York City
D. there were no theatrical performances outside of New York City.
5. 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 theatre than to the movies.
B. the shift away from the movies to the theatre was slowed down.
C. the popularity of the theatre was gradually increasing.
D. the shift away from the theatre to the movies was speeded up.
XIII. Read the following passage carefully, and then decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE.
Skiing has become a way of life for many people. From the moment the first snowflake falls until the spring
thaw, skiers put their skis in their cars and head for the slopes. There are many reasons behind the popularity of this
winter sport.
Skiing is a true family sport that can be enjoyed by all people whether 3 or 93 years old. Being able to descend a
hill, to turn at will, and enjoying nature at its loveliest are thrills for all age groups.
Skiing is also interesting because it provides a variety of experiences. Snow conditions change hourly as the
temperature and weather conditions change during the day. Moreover, every trail is different. Rarely does one pass
over the same spot twice.
Improvements in ski equipment, clothing, and ski areas have made the sport more pleasurable, comfortable and
available. Warm and light clothing has replaced layers of heavy sweaters. Ski equipment made with modern
materials has made skis and poles lighter, more flexible and suited to people of all ages and abilities. The
availability of skiing had also been improved by snow-making equipment. Even in areas of the country that have
very little snowfall, snow can be made if the temperature is below 32°F.
For many people, skiing is an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the out-of-door, to challenge their physical
abilities and finally to simply have fun. It is a sport enjoyed worldwide and appears to be gaining in popularity

constantly.
1. The passage is mainly about the reasons why skiing is a popular sport.
2. The writer's main purpose in the passage is to inform.
3. Quite a few people find skiing enjoyable these days.
4. Ski areas are more available today thanks to snow equipment in warmer climates.
5. The writer classifies skiing.
XIV. Read the following passage carefully, and then answer the questions below.
COUNTRY MUSIC
Sometimes city people think they are smarter than country people. People who live in cities often laugh at the
simple way of life in the country. But people do not laugh at country music. It is one of the most popular kinds of
music in the Unite States today.
Maybe country music is very popular because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events like love,
sadness, good times, and bad times. It tells real-life stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes
more complicate and difficult, it is good to hear about simple, ordinary people.
Country music is sometimes called country-western music. It comes from two kinds of music. One is the
traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is traditional
cowboy music from the American West. The singers usually play guitars or electric guitars when they sing.
Country music became very popular in the South. During World War II, thousands of people from the South
moved to the Northwest and the Midwest to work in factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the
rest of the country went to army camps in the South and learned to like country music there. Slowly it became
popular all over.the United States.
In 1925 a radio program from Nashville, Tennessee, started to play country music, the program was called the
"Grand Ole Opry," which means the grand or wonderful old opera. Today this program broadcasts from the largest
television studio in the world, and Nashville is the center of country music. Musicians record their music in more
than 60 recording studios that are open 24 hours a day! There are also hotels, stores that sell cowboy clothes, and
tours for people to see the homes of famous country music singers. Nashville also has an entertainment park and
the Country Music Hall of Fame -- a place like a museum with pictures and souvenirs of famous country music
stars. Millions of people visit Nashville every year to hear country 1 music and experience the country way of life.
Today country music is popular everywhere in the United States and Canada -- in small towns and in big cities.



There are more than a thousand radio stations that play country music 24 hours a day. People in many other
countries around the world also enjoy country music and even sing it in their own languages. The music that started
with cowboys in the West and poor mountain people in the East is now popular all over the world.
