Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34.
Magazines have been a major growth area of popular in the 20th century. Specialist magazines cater
to every imaginable field and activity. In the United Kingdom, over 12,000 periodicals, magazines,
bulletins, annuals, trade journals, and academic journals are published on a regular basis. There are some
40 women’s magazines and over 60 dealing with particular sports games, hobbies, and pastimes.
Although some US magazines, such as The Saturday Evening Post, has succumbed to the circulations,
The Reader’s Digest over 16 million, the National Geographic over 10 million. For many people,
magazines have been the most available and widely used form of continuing education, providing
information about history, geography, literature, science, and the arts, and as well as guidance on
gardening, cooking, home decorating, financial management, psychology, even marriage and family life.
Until the rise of television, magazines were the most available form of cheap, convenient
entertainment in the English-speaking world. Radio served a similar function, but it was more limited in
what it could do. Magazines and television, however, both address the more powerful visual sense.
During the third quarter of the 20th century, coincident with a dramatic rise in the popularity of television,
many general-interest, especially illustrated magazines went out of business. The shift in attention of a
mass audience from reading such magazines to watching television has been a major factor in this
decline, but it is an implicit tribute to the older genre that its programs are generally organized in a single
format and content.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
Jazz has been called “the art of expression set to music”, and “America’s great contribution to
music”. It has functioned as popular art and enjoyed periods of fairly widespread public response, in the
“jazz age” of the 1920s, in the “swing era” of the late 1930s and in the peak popularity of modem jazz in
the late 1950s. The standard legend about Jazz is that it originated around the end of the 19th century in
New Orleans and moved up the Mississippi River to Memphis, St. Louis, and finally to Chicago. It
welded together the elements of Ragtime, marching band music, and the Blues. However, the influences
of what led to those early sounds go back to tribal African drum beats and European musical structures.
Buddy Bolden, a New Orleans barber and comet player, is generally considered to have been the first real

Jazz musician, around 1891.
What made Jazz significantly different from the other earlier forms of music was the use of
improvisation. Jazz displayed a break from traditional music where a composer wrote an entire piece of
music on paper, leaving the musicians to break their backs playing exactly what was written on the score.
In a Jazz piece, however, the song is simply a starting point, or sort of skeletal guide for the Jazz
musicians to improvise around. Actually, many of the early Jazz musicians were bad sight readers and
some couldn’t even read music at all. Generally speaking, these early musicians couldn’t make very much
money and were stuck working menial jobs to make a living. The second wave of New Orleans Jazz
musicians included such memorable players as Joe Oliver, Kid Ory, and Jelly Roll Morton. These men

Trang 4/10


formed small bands and took the music of earlier musicians, improved its complexity, and gained greater
success. This music is known as "hot Jazz” due to the enormously fast speeds and rhythmic drive.
A young comet player by the name of Louis Armstrong was discovered by Joe Oliver inNew
Orleans. He soon grew up to become one of the greatest and most successful musicians of all time, and
later one of the biggest stars in the world. The impact of Armstrong and other talented early Jazz
musicians changed the way we look at music.
Question 35. The passage answers which of the following questions?
A. Why did Ragtime, marching band music, and the Blues lose popularity after about 1900?
B. What were the origins of Jazz and how did it differ from other forms of music?
C. What has been the greatest contribution of comet players to music in the twentieth century?
