Read the passage and choose the correct choice. (3 points)
Up to about 1915, movies were shot and programs were made up of several works. Then, D.W.Griffith and others began to make longer films that provided the same powerful emotional appeal as did melodrama and presented spectacles far beyond what the theater could offer. Consequently, after World War I increasing numbers of spectators deserted the theater for the movies. This trend was accelerated in the late 1920s as a result of two new elements. In 1927 sound was added to the previously silent film, and thus one of the theater's principal claims to superiority vanished. In 1929 a serious economic depression began. Since audiences could go to the movies for a fraction of what it cost to see a play, theater going became a luxury that few could afford, especially as the depression deepened. By the end of World War II, the American theater had been reduced to about thirty theaters in New York City and a small number of touring companies originating there.

3. One thing that made people choose the movies over the theater was ______

A. theater had become entertainment for the masses.
B. the theater was no longer considered a luxury. C. professional theatrical performances were confined mainly to New York
D. There were no theatrical performances outside of New York City.
5. When the author of this paragraph says "this trend was accelerated in late 1920s" he means that ________
A. many more people went to the theater than to the movies.
B. the shift away from the movies to the theater was slowed down.
C. the popularity of the theater was gradually increasing.

The Tunguska Event of 1908 was (1) further from a city so (2) fewer people saw it, but it was much (3) more powerful than the one in Chelyabinsk. It destroyed more than 80 million trees in the Siberian forest, so it's lucky it was not (4) closer to a town or city. The night sky became (5) brighter than normal for a few days, and people a hundred kilometres away could read a newspaper outdoors even at midnight.
Most scientists believe it was a meteor explosion, but there are some (6) more unusual theories too. Perhaps it was a UFO!
Tạm dịch:
Sự kiện Tunguska năm 1908 xảy ra ở xa thành phố hơn nên khá ít người thấy nó, nhưng nó nổ mạnh hơn rất nhiều so với ở Cheyabinsk. Nó phá hủy hơn 80 triệu cây trong rừng Siberian, nên may mắn là nó không gần một thị trấn hay thành phố. Bầu trời trở nên sáng hơn bình thường trong vài ngày, và người ở cách xa tram cây số có thể đọc báo ngoài trời ngay cả vào nửa đêm.
Hầu hết các nhà khoa học đều cho rằng đó là vụ nổ thiên thạch, nhưng cũng có những giả thuyết kì lạ khác nữa. Có lẽ nó có thể là UFO!
Giải thích:
(1) The Tunguska Event of 1908 was (1) further from a city… (Sự kiện Tunguska năm 1908 xảy ra ở xa thành phố hơn…)
Far là tính từ bất quy tắc, ta có far – further.
(2)… so (2) fewer people saw it… (nên khá ít người thấy nó)4[
Few là định lượng từ ngắn, ta thêm -er vào sau định lượng từ: few → fewer.
(3) but it was much (3) more powerful than the one in Chelyabinsk. (nhưng nó nổ mạnh hơn rất nhiều so với ở Cheyabinsk.)
Powerful là tính từ dài, ta thêm more vào trước nó: more powerful.
(4) …so it's lucky it was not (4) closer to a town or city. (nên may mắn là nó không gần một thị trấn hay thành phố.
close là tính từ ngắn, ta thêm -er vào sau định lượng từ: close → closer.
(5) The night sky became (5) brighter than normal for a few days… (Bầu trời trở nên sáng hơn bình thường trong vài ngày.)
bright là tính từ ngắn, ta thêm -er vào sau định lượng từ: bright → brighter.
(6) ...but there are some (6) more unusual theories too. (nhưng cũng có những giả thuyết kì lạ khác nữa.)
unusual là tính từ dài, ta thêm more vào trước nó: more unsual.
