Task 6. Read the passage and choose the best option to answer each of the following questions.
ANIMATION
The theory (lý thuyết) of the animated cartoon was introduced before the invention (sự phát minh) of the
cinema by half a century. When working to create conversation pieces for Victorian shops, people
discovered the principle (nguyên lý) of persistence of vision (giữ hình ảnh trong tầm nhìn). If drawings

of the stages of an action were shown in fast succession (nối tiếp nhau), the human eye would perceive (tiếp
nhận) them as a continuous movement.
One of the first commercially successful devices (thiết bị), invented by the Belgian Joseph Plateau in 1832,
was the phenakistoscope (đĩa động hoạ), a spinning cardboard disk (đĩa bằng bìa xoay) that created the
illusion of movement (chuyển động ảo) when viewed in a mirror, in 1834, William Horner invented the
zoetrope, a rotating drum lined by a band of pictures (trống quay được trang bị băng hình ảnh). The
Frenchman Émile Reynaud in 1876 adapted the principle into a form that could be projected before a
theatrical audience (khan giả sân khấu). Reynaud became not only animation’s first entrepreneur (doanh
nhân) but also the first artist to give personality and warmth to his animated characters.
(Animation by Dave Kehr- extracted from Encyclopaedia Britannica)
26. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Early history of animation
B. The reason why animation is popular
C. The invention of Joseph Plateau
D. The first animation’s entrepreneur
27. When was the theory of animation developed?
A. after the introduction of the cinema
B. in 1832
C. about 50 years before the invention of the cinema
D. in 1876
28. What happens to human eyes when pictures of the stages of an action were shown in fast succession?
A. They will find the pictures more vivid.
B. They cannot see the pictures.


C. They will perceive the pictures as normal.
D. They will see the pictures as a continuous movement.
29. What is a phenakistoscope?
A. a popular form of entertainment
B. a spinning cardboard disk

C. a rotating drum lined by a band of pictures
D. a collection of Victorian drawings

Task 4. Read the passage and choose the best option to answer each of the following questions.
In the UK, bus journeys are just boring and simply a necessity. This public means of transportation is often
convenient when you live or work in the city centre, as you can avoid traffic jams by moving very quickly in
the bus lanes, and do not have to pay to park the car. After all, though, taking the bus is just a necessary
and tedious part of life: you board the bus, pay the driver and sit down or find a place to stand. Very boring.
In Latin America, however, bus trips can be very lively. For a start, long-distance buses put on films so that
you have entertainment for at least some of the journey. Naturally, local transport does not show films but


drivers usually switch on the radio and that can be a great way to hear new songs and new styles of music.
Therefore, taking the bus doesn’t sound like fun but it is much more exciting than any UK bus journey.
