Read the following passage and choose the best answer. Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading ” undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace. One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others. Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character. The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers. As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some
4. education in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in duchy public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers. Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialized readership on the other. By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied 1. Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because . A.

An increase in the average age of readers 4. Silent reading, especially in public places, flourished mainly because of . A. The decreasing number of listeners B. The decreasing need to read aloud C. The development of libraries D. The increase in literacy 5. It can be inferred the emergence of the mass media and specialized reading materials was an indication of . A. A change in the readers’ interest B. A decline of standards of literacy C. An improvement of printing techniques D. An alteration in educationalists’ attitudes 6. The phrase “a specialized readership” in paragraph 4 mostly means “ .” A. A limited number of readers in a particular area of knowledge B. A reading volume for particular professionals C. A status for readers specialized in mass media D. A requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge 7. The phrase “oral reader” in the last paragraph mostly means “a person who ”
