indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions from 13 to 20.
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
Lumiere 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
the y 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.

appeared around_______.
A. 1896 B. 1909 C. 1915 D. 1927

A. “Key of c major” B. “Directed by D. w. Griffith”
C. “Calm, peaceful” D. “Piano, violin”
Question 37: According to the passage, what kind of business was the Edison
Company?
A. It published musical arrangements. B. It made musical
instruments.
C. It distributed films. D. It produced electricity.
Question 38: 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 39: The word “composed” is closest in meaning to_______.

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 40 to 46.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the American educational system was
desperately in need of reform. Private schools existed, but only for the very
rich. There were very few public schools because of the strong sentiment that
children who would grow up to be laborers should not “waste” their time on
education but should instead prepare themselves for their life’s work. It was in
the face of this public sentiment that educational reformers set about their task.
Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt that there was
no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated. As Manager of
Education in the state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various
changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country.
He extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality
of teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries.
Although these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the
educational system, they at least increased public awareness as to the need for a
further strengthening of the system.
Question 40: The passage implied that to go to a private school, a student
needed_______.
A. a lot of money B. a high level of intelligence
C. good grades D. a strong educational background
Question 41: According to the passage, Horace Mann wanted a better educational
system for Americans because_______.
A. Massachusetts residents needed something to do with their spare time
B. there was no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated
C. education at the time was so cheap
D. people had nothing else to do except go to school
Question 42: The word “reformers” in the passage mostly means_______.
