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 38 to 42.
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”.

D. trong năm 1927
Dịch bài
Sách lịch sử đã ghi lại rằng bộ phim đầu tiên có âm thanh là The Jazz Singer vào năm 1927. Nhưng những bộ phim âm thanh, hay phim có thoại, đã không đột nhiên xuất hiện sau nhiều năm chiếu phim im lặng. Từ những buổi biểu diễn công khai sớm nhất vào năm 1896, các bộ phim đã đi kèm với hiệu ứng âm nhạc và âm thanh. Chúng được sản xuất bởi một nghệ sĩ piano duy nhất, một ban nhạc nhỏ hoặc một dàn nhạc quy mô đầy đủ; rạp chiếu phim lớn có thể mua máy hiệu ứng âm thanh. Nghiên cứu về âm thanh mà được tái tạo chính xác cùng lúc với các bức ảnh - được gọi là âm thanh đồng bộ hóa - bắt đầu ngay sau khi những bộ phim đầu tiên được trình chiếu. Với âm thanh đồng bộ, các nhân vật trên màn hình phim có thể hát và nói. Ngay từ năm 1896, máy hát mới được phát minh, chơi một đĩa lớn mang âm nhạc và hội thoại, đã được sử dụng như một hệ thống âm thanh. Nhược điểm lớn nhất là âm thanh và hình ảnh có thể trở nên không đồng bộ nếu, ví dụ, kim máy hát nhảy lên hoặc nếu tốc độ của máy chiếu thay đổi. Hệ thống này chỉ hiệu quả đối với một bài hát hoặc chuỗi hội thoại.
Trong hệ thống âm thanh trên phim, âm thanh được ghi lại dưới dạng một loạt các dấu hiệu trên celluloid, thứ mà có thể được đọc bởi một cảm biến quang học. Các tín hiệu này sẽ được đặt trên phim cùng với hình ảnh, đảm bảo đồng bộ hóa. Phim truyện ngắn được sản xuất theo cách này sớm nhất là vào năm 1922. Hệ thống này cuối cùng đã mang đến cho chúng ta những bức ảnh biết nói.

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”.

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.
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death·, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to humanity. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony.
Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from 30,000to30,000to125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes

Dịch bài
Sau khi phát minh ra thuốc nổ, Alfred Nobel, sinh ra ở Thụy Điển, đã trở thành một người đàn ông rất giàu có. Tuy nhiên, ông đã thấy trước sức mạnh hủy diệt phổ quát của nó quá muộn. Nobel không muốn được nhớ đến như là người phát minh ra thuốc nổ, vì vậy vào năm 1895, chỉ hai tuần trước khi qua đời, ông đã tạo ra một quỹ để sử dụng để trao giải thưởng cho những người có đóng góp xứng đáng cho nhân loại. Ban đầu có năm giải thưởng: văn học, vật lý, hóa học, y học và hòa bình. Kinh tế đã được thêm vào năm 1968, chỉ sáu mươi bảy năm sau lễ trao giải đầu tiên.
Di sản ban đầu của Nobel Nobel với chín triệu đô la đã được đầu tư và tiền lãi cho khoản tiền này được sử dụng cho các giải thưởng thay đổi từ 30.000 đến 125.000 đô la.
Hàng năm vào ngày 10 tháng 12, ngày kỷ niệm cái chết của Nobel, các giải thưởng (huy chương vàng, bằng cấp và tiền) được trao cho những người chiến thắng. Đôi khi chính trị đóng một vai trò quan trọng trong các quyết định của ban giám khảo. Người Mỹ đã giành được nhiều giải thưởng khoa học, nhưng tương đối ít giải thưởng văn học.
Không có giải thưởng nào được trao từ năm 1940 đến 1942 vào đầu Thế chiến II. Một số người đã giành được hai giải thưởng, nhưng điều này rất hiếm; những người khác đã chia sẻ giải thưởng của họ.
