when the Lumiere films were shown at the first public film exhibition in the Unites 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 styles 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 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 61 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 62 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 63 The word “solemn” in paragraph is closest in meaning to……………… A simple B serious C short D silent 64 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 65 The word “them” in paragraph refers to……………… A years B hands C pieces D films 66 According to the passage, what kind of business was the Edison Company? A It produced electricity B It distributed films C It published musical arrangements D It made musical instruments 67 It may be inferred from the passage that the first musical cue sheets appeared around A 1896 B 1909 C 1915 D 1927 68 The word “composed” in paragraph is closest in meaning to……………… A selected B combined C played D created 69 The word “scores” in paragraph is closest in meaning to……………… A totals B successes C musical compositions D groups of musicians 70 The passage probably continues with a discussion of…………………… A famous composers of the early twentieth century B other films directed by D.W.Griffith C silent films by other directors D the music in Birth of a Nation Passage Read the passage and choose the best answer: The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star It is fueled by thermonuclear reactions near its center that convert hydrogen to helium The Sun has existed in its present state for about four billion six hundred million years and is thousands of times larger than the Earth By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun‟s life will be like About five billion years from now, the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter The surface temperature will fall The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions The outer regions of the Sun will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the Sun The Sun will then be a red giant star Temperatures on the Earth will become too high for life to exist Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink After it shrinks to the size of the Earth, it will become a white dwarf star The Sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat Such a star is called a black dwarf After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold If any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen over the Earth‟s surface 71 It can be inferred from the passage that the Sun A is approximately halfway through its life as a yellow dwarf B will continue to be a yellow dwarf for another 10 billion years C has been in existence for 10 billion years D is rapidly changing in size and brightness 72 What will probably be the first stage of change for the Sun to become a red giant? A Its surface will become hotter and shrink B It will throw off huge amounts of gases C Its central part will grow smaller and hotter D Its core will cool off and use less fuel 73 When the Sun becomes a red giant, what will the atmosphere be like on the Earth? A It will be enveloped in the expanding surface of the sun B It will become too hot for life to exist C It will be almost destroyed by nova explosions D It will freeze and become solid 74 When the Sun has used up its energy as a red giant, it will A get frozen B cease to exist C stop to expand D become smaller 75 Large amounts of gases may be released from the Sun at the end of its life as a A black dwarf B white dwarf C red giant D yellow dwarf 76 As a white dwarf, the Sun will be A the same size as the planet Mercury B around 35 million miles in diameter C a cool and habitable planet D thousands of times smaller than it is today 77 The Sun will become a black dwarf when A the Sun moves nearer to the Earth B it has used up all its fuel as a white dwarf C the core of the Sun becomes hotter D the outer regions of the Sun expand 78 The word “there” in the last sentence of paragraph refers to A the planet Mercury B the core of a black dwarf C our own planet D the outer surface of the Sun 79 This passage is intended to A describe the changes that the Sun will go through B present a theory about red giant stars C alert people to the dangers posed by the Sun D discuss conditions on the Earth in the far future 80 The passage has probably been taken from A a scientific journal B a news report C a work of science fiction D a scientific chronicle B WRITTEN TESTS (60 PTS) VII OPEN
