Đề thi thử THPT Quốc gia môn Anh Văn - Năm học 2017-2018 - Trường THPT Quang Trung - Mã đề 002 (Có đáp án)
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 question from 1 to 8.
Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds, 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 increased, the number of potential listeners declined 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 way 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 specialised readership on the other.
Question 1: Silent reading, especially in public places, flourished mainly because of ____.
A. the development of libraries B. the decreasing number of listeners
C. the increase in literacy D. the decreasing need to read aloud
Question 2: The phrase "a specialised readership" in paragraph 4 mostly means "____".
A. a requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge
B. a status for readers specialised in mass media
C. a reading volume for particular professionals
D. a limited number of readers in a particular area of knowledge
Question 3: The word "commonplace" in the first paragraph mostly means "___ ".
A. for everybody's use B. most preferable C. attracting attention D. widely used
Question 4: The phrase "oral reader" in the last paragraph mostly means "a person who ____".
A. is interested in spoken language B. takes part in an audition
C. is good at public speaking D. practises reading to an audience
Question 5: All of the following might be the factors that affected the continuation of the old shared literacy culture EXCEPT ____.
A. the specialised readership B. the inappropriate reading skills
C. diversity of reading materials D. the printed mass media
