III. Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question.
Write your answer (A, B, C or D) in the numbered box.
Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and
medieval words, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud.
Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace.

One should be wary, however, of assuming 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 usual 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 increases, the number of potential listeners decline and thus there was some
reduction in the need 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 argument over whether books should be
used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as
newspapers was in some 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 a 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 impossible, for the oral reader.

The social, cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading”
implied.

1. Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because______ * 1 điểm

A. people relied on reading for entertainment.

B. silent reading had not been discovered

C. there were few places available for private reading

HOT TIPS FOR STAYING COOL AT EXAM TIME

0 _______G_____

It’s always good to know what you’re aiming for, so that you know if and when you get there. By having an
aim for each week, or even each day, it will help you check your progress and show you if you need to
change your plans.

1. ___________

Rather than have to work through masses of notes very time you revise something, try nothing down
things you want to remember on a piece of paper. It doesn’t seem as much to learn that way, but it makes
sure you don’t miss out anything important. Once you’ve learnt the main points, rewrite them on another
piece of paper without looking at your notes.

2. _____________

There is nothing worse than being disorganized. If you have a plan and stick to it, you won’t end up
cramming all your revision into the last few hours!. Make a list of your exams and what you need to learn
beforehand, and then drew up a timetable covering all the topics. You can then work out what you need to
do on a weekly basis and when you are going to do it.

3. ______________

By now you’ll probably have discovered the method of revision which suits you best. But every now and
then it might be helpful to try a different method. You could try working with a group of friends, or using a
different book which covers things from a new angle. Whatever it is, just try something different
occasionally.

4. ______________

Some things are almost impossible to remember, so you may need to do something unusual to help you
remember. Try writing them down in large letters and bright colors and sticking them on the fridge, on a
mirror or on the bathroom door. Try recording them onto a cassette and keep playing it back to yourself-
on a personal stereo if you have got one!.

5 . ______________

Not too many people like exams and most of us get nervous. But if you’ve followed your plan and put the
effort into revising, then there is not need to worry or panic. Hopefully these tips will have helped you.
Give it your best shot- that’s all that anyone can expect of you.

Hay fever is the most common allergy there is. It is widespread among children and teenagers, you are
also prone to hay fever if you have another allergy and, like other allergies, it seems to run in families.
What’s more it’s on the increase- studies throughout Europe show a steady growth in the number of
sufferers in the past 20 years.

Hay fever has little to do with hay. It’s actually caused by pollen from trees, grasses and weeds (1)_____.
When sufferers come into contact with pollen-laden air, their immune system starts working overtime
which is dispersed into the air during spring and summer which trigger all the classic hay fever
symptoms- a stuffy, runny nose, sneezing, an itchy or sore throat and watery eyes. Although the hay fever
season peaks in June and July, some people are allergic to trees pollens releases in February and March
(2)_____.

Weather is all-important. It determines when hay fever season starts (3)_____. The cooler and drier the
spring, the later the season. Pollen counts are lower on dull, damp days- (4)_____- and higher on hot, dry
days. Wind dilutes pollen, so sufferers should make for the coast where sea breezes blow the pollen
away. Mountain regions are another haven (5)_____. Cities also have lower pollen counts than country
areas. In low-lying grassland regions the counts can be five times higher than in cities, although there’s
now evidence that city pollutants can bring on hay fever symptoms.
