Read the passage and answer the question by circling the correct answer.
Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as "silent," the film has
never been, in the full sense of the word, silent. From the very beginning, music was regarded as an
indispensable accompaniment; when the Limeira films were shown at the first public film exhibition in
the United States in February 1896, they were accompanied by piano improvisations on popular tunes.
At first, the music played bore no special relationship to the films; an accompaniment of any kind was

sufficient.
Within a very short time, however, the incongruity of playing lively music to a solemn film
became apparent, and film pianists began to take some care in matching their pieces to the mood of the
film.
As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a cellist, would be
added to the pianist in certain cases, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were formed. For a
number of years the selection of music for each film program rested entirely in the hands of the
conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often the principal qualification for holding such a
position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces.
Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be shown (if, indeed, the
Mã đề 175/Đề thi thử THPT Quốc gia- Trường THPT Chuyên Thái Nguyên/ Page 3 of 9

conductor was lucky enough to see them then), the musical arrangement was normally improvised in the
greatest hurry.
To help meet this difficulty, film distributing companies started the practice of publishing
suggestions for musical accompaniments. In 1909, for example, the Edison Company began issuing with
their films such indications of mood as "pleasant," "sad," "lively." The suggestions became more
explicit, and so emerged the musical cue sheet containing indications of mood, the titles of suitable
pieces of music, and precise directions to show where one piece led into the next.
Certain films had music especially composed for them. The most famous of these early special
scores was that composed and arranged for D.W. Griffith's film “Birth of a Nation”, which was released
in 1915.
Question 45. The passage mainly discusses music that was ________ .
A. performed before the showing of a film
B. played during silent films
C. specifically composed for certain movie theaters D. recorded during film exhibitions
Question 46. What can be inferred from the passage about the majority of films made after 1927?
A. They were truly "silent."
B. They were accompanied by symphonic orchestras.

C. They incorporated the sound of the actors' voices.
D. They corresponded to specific musical compositions.
Question 47. The word "solemn" is closest in meaning to ________ .
A. simple
B. serious
C. short
D. silent
Question 48. It can be inferred that orchestra conductors who worked in movie theaters needed to
________ .
A. be able to play many instruments
B. have pleasant voices
C. be familiar with a wide variety of music
D. be able to compose original music
Question 49. The word "them" refers to ________ .
A. years
B. hands
C. pieces
D. films
Question 50. According to the passage, what kind of business was the Edison Company?
A. It produced electricity.
B. It distributed films.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.
INTERNET JOBS
Contrary to popular belief, one does not have to be a trained programmer to work online. Of course,
there are plenty of jobs available for people with high-tech computer skills, but the growth of new media
has opened up a wide range of Internet career opportunities requiring only a minimal level of technical
expertise. Probably one of the most well-known online job opportunities is the job of webmaster.
However, it is hard to define one basic job description for this position. The qualifications and
responsibilities depend on what tasks a particular organization needs a webmaster to perform.
Mã đề 175/Đề thi thử THPT Quốc gia- Trường THPT Chuyên Thái Nguyên/ Page 4 of 9

To specify the job description of a webmaster, one needs to identify the hardware and software that
the website the webmaster will manage is running on. Different types of hardware and software require
different skill sets to manage them. Another key factor is whether the website will be running internally
(at the firm itself) or externally (renting shared space on the company servers). Finally, the
responsibilities of a webmaster also depend on whether he or she will be working independently, or

whether the firm will provide people to help. All of these factors need to be considered before one can
create an accurate webmaster job description.
Webmaster is one type of Internet career requiring in-depth knowledge of the latest computer
applications. However, there are also online jobs available for which traditional skills remain in high
demand. Content jobs require excellent writing skills and a good sense of the web as a “new media”.
The term “new media” is difficult to define because it encompasses a constantly growing set of new
technologies and skills. Specifically, it includes websites, email, Internet technology, CD-ROM, DVD,
streaming audio and video, interactive multimedia presentations, e-books, digital music, computer
illustration, video games, virtually reality, and computer artistry.
Additionally, many of today’s Internet careers are becoming paid-by-the-job professions. With many
companies having to downsize in tough economic items, the outsourcing and contracting of freelance
workers online has become common business practice. The Internet provides an infinite pool of buyers
from around the world with whom freelancers are able to work on projects with companies outside their
own country of residence.
How much can a person make in these kinds of career? As with many questions related to today’s
evolving technology, there is no simple answer. There are many companies willing to pay people with
technical Internet skills salaries well above $70,000 a year. Generally, webmasters start at about $30,000
per year, but salaries can vary greatly. Freelance writers working online have been known to make
between $40,000 and $70,000 per year.

A. modern technology

D. “New media” is not easy to define.
Question 60. Which of the following is not mentioned as part of “new media”?

B. Internet technology C. writing skills
D. video games
Question 61. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. online workers can work full-time online B. only skilled workers make good money

D. workers with limited computer skills cannot work online
