In Đọc đoạn văn sau, chọn một phương án (ứng với A, B, C hoặc D) điền vào chỗ trống, từ câu 56 đến câu 65 History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called "synchronized sound" – began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence. In the "sound-on-film" system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization. Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually brought us "talking pictures". Câu 56: The passage is mainly about the ______________. A. disadvantages of synchronized sound B. development of sound with movies C. research into sound reproduction D. history of silent movies Câu 57: According to the passage, films using sound effects were screened ___________. A. in 1927 B. as early as 1896 C. before 1896 D. as early as 1922 Câu 58: The word "screenings" is closest in meaning to "________________".

Câu 61: According to the passage, gramophones were ineffective because they _______________. A. were newly invented and still had imperfections B. were too large for most movie theaters C. got out of synchronization with the picture D. changed speeds when the needle jumped Câu 62: The word "sequence" is closest in meaning to _________________.

Entertainment industries compete for your leisure time. You can watch TV, listen to music, go to an art gallery or, of course, read a book. Sometimes, it seems that reading is neglected because even if you are a fast reader, it can take a considerable amount of time to finish a novel, for example. But in the modern world, time is something that can be in short supply . Book publishers haven’t been slow to realize this and are now selling a product which needn't take up as much of your time but still tells you an excellent story. The new product is the audio book-cassette recording of shortened novels, often read by well- known personalities or the authors themselves. Audio books are relatively new but people are becoming more aware of them and sales are not increasing all the time. One of the attractions of audio books is that they are like listening to the radio, only better. You can listen to what you want when you want and you won't ever miss anything.
