answer to each of the questions.
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 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 em erged 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.

 A. performed before the showing of a film 	B. played during silent films
 C. recorded during film exhibitions 	D.specifically composed for certain movie theaters

 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 
Question 28: 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
Question 29: The word "them" in paragraph 2 refers to _________. 
 A. years 	B. hands 	C. pieces 	D. films
Question 30: 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 
Question 31: It may be inferred from the passage that the first musical cue sheets appeared around _________.

NEIGHBOURS INFLUENCE BUYING DECISIONS
However objective we believe ourselves to be, most of us do not judge a product solely on its merits, considering quality, value and style before making a decision. (34)________, we are easily influenced by the people around us.
There is nothing wrong with this. It is probably a smarter way to make decisions than (35) ________ on only our own opinions. But it does make life hard for companies. They have long understood that groups of friends and relatives tend to buy the same products, but understanding the reasons has been tricky. It is because they are so similar with (36) _______ to how much money they make and what television ads they watch that they independently arrive at the same decision? Or do they copy one another, perhaps (37) ______ envy or perhaps because they have shared information about the products?
Research in Finland recently found overwhelming evidence that neighbours have a big influence on buying decisions. When one of a person’s ten nearest neighbours bought a car, the chances that that person would buy a car of the same brand during the next week and a half (38) __________ by 86 per cent. The researchers argued that it was not just a matter of envy. Used cars seemed to attract neighbours even more than new cars. This suggested that people were not trying to keep up with their neighbours, they were keen to learn from them. Since used cars are less reliable, a recommendation of one can strongly influence a buying decision.
Question 34: A. What’s more 	B. Instead 	C. Unlike 	D. In place
Question 35: A. basing 	B. trusting 	C. supposing 	D. relying 
Question 36: A. connection 	B. regard 	C. relation 	D. concern 
Question 37: A. for 	B. as to 	C. out of 	D. about 
Question 38: A. boosted 	B. rose 	C. enlarged 	D. lifted
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.
Glass is a remarkable substance made from the simplest raw materials. It can be colored or colorless, monochrome or polychrome, transparent, translucent, or opaque. It is lightweight impermeable to liquids, readily cleaned and reused, durable yet fragile, and often very beautiful. Glass can be decorated in multiple ways and its optical properties are exceptional. In all its myriad forms - as table ware, containers, in architecture and design -glass represents a major achievement in the history of technological developments.
Since the Bronze Age about 3, 000 B. C. glass has been used for making various kinds of objects. It was first made from a mixture of silica, line and an alkali such as soda or potash, and these remained the basic ingredients of glass until the development of lead glass in the seventeenth century. When heated, the mixture becomes soft and malleable and can be formed by various techniques into a vast array of shapes and sizes. The homogeneous mass thus formed by melting then cools to create glass, but in contrast to most materials formed in this way (metals, for instance), glass lacks the crystalline structure normally associated with solids, and instead retains the random molecular structure of a liquid. In effect, as molten glass cools, it progressively stiffen s until rigid, but does so without setting up a network of interlocking crystals customarily associated with that process. This is why glass shatters so easily when dealt a blow. Why glass deteriorates over time, especially when exposed to moisture, and why glassware must be slowly reheated and uniformly cooled after manufacture to release internal stresses induced by uneven cooling.
Another unusual feature of glass is the manner in which its viscosity changes as it turns from a cold substance into a hot, ductile liquid. Unlike metals that flow or freeze at specific temperatures glass progressively softens as the temperature rises, going through varying stages of malleability until it flows like a thick syrup. Each stage of malleability allows the glass to be manipulated into various forms, by different techniques, and if suddenly cooled the object retains the shape achieved at that point. Glass is thus amenable to a greater number of heatforming techniques than most other materials.

 A. To demonstrate how glass evolved 	B. To show the versatility of glass
 C. To explain glassmaking technology 	D. To explain the purpose of each component of glass

 A. It has an interlocking crystal network 	B. It has an unusually low melting temperature
 C. It has varying physical properties 	D. It has a random molecular structure 
Question 42: The words "exposed to" in paragraph 2 most likely mean ______. 
 A. hardened by 	B. chilled with 	C. subjected to 	D. deprived of
Question 43: What must be done to release the internal stresses that build up in glass products during manufacture?
 A. The glass must be reheated and evenly cooled. 
 B. The glass must be cooled quickly. 
 C. The glass must be kept moist until cooled. 
 D. The glass must be shaped to its desired form immediately
Question 44: The word "it" in paragraph 3 refers to________. 
 A. feature 	B. glass 	C. manner 	D. viscosity
Question 45: According to the passage, why can glass be more easily shaped into specific forms than can metals
 A. It resists breaking when heated
 B. It has better optical properties
 C. It retains heat while its viscosity changes
 D. It gradually becomes softer as its temperature rises
