The future of entertainment
More than ever, media is separating into mass market blockbusters on the one hand and ‘niche
products attracted small groups of people with similar interests on the other. Everything else is
struggling to compete.
Joe Swanberg makes films about the romantic lives of young people in the city. He shoots quickly
with a digital camera and asks actors to wear his own clothes. His low-budget films are hardly ever
shown in cinemas. By keeping his costs down and distributing digital, Mr Swanberg is making a living.
Technology was expected to help young people like him. A few years ago it was predicted that the
internet would vastly increase the supply of small independent films and other niche media products
and increase their audiences. That has certainly happened. However, so the opposite has.
Blockbusters are also tightening their grip on audiences, whether it’s in the area of film, music,
television or books. The growth of both niche products and huge sell-out successes have been at the
expense of the things in the middle which are just quite popular the near-misses.

Part 2:
Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question. (5pts)
Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an overview before reading.
Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which often needs jumping forward or
backward to process information). They also relate important points to one another. Also, they activate and use
their prior
knowledge. When they realize that their understanding is not good, they do not wait to change
strategies. Last, they can monitor understanding and take action to correct or “fix up” mistakes in
comprehension.
Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study skills. They
tend to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers, parents) to monitor their studying,
for example, low-achieving students often do not monitor their understanding of content; they may not be aware
of the purpose of studying; and they show little evidence of looking back, or employing “fix-up” strategies to fix
understanding problems. Students who struggle with learning new information seem to be unaware that they
must extent effort beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it. Children with learning
disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying may be disorganized. Students
with learning problems face challenges with personal organization as well. They often have difficulty keeping
track of materials and assignments, following directions, and completing work on time. Unlike good studiers who
employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful manner, low-achieving students use a restricted range
of study skills.
They
cannot explain why good study strategies are important for learning; and they tend to use
the same, often ineffective study approach for all learning tasks, ignoring task content, structure or difficulty.

Part 3:
Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.(5pts)
Simply being bilingual doesn’t qualify someone to interpret. Interpreting is not only a mechanical process
of converting one sentence in language A into the same sentence in language B. Rather, its a complex art in
which thoughts and idioms that have no obvious counterparts from tongue to tongue - or words that have
several meanings must be quickly transformed in such a way that the message is clearly and accurately
expressed to the listener.
At one international conference, an American speaker said, “You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear”,
which meant nothing to the Spanish audience. The interpretation was, “A monkey in a silk dress is still a
monkey” _ an idiom the Spanish understood and that expressed the same idea.
There are 2 kinds of interpreters, simultaneous and consecutive. The former, sitting in a separated booth,
usually at a large multilingual conference, speaks to listeners wearing headphones, interpreting what a foreign
language speaker says _ actually a sentence behind. Consecutive interpreters are the ones most international
negotiations use. They are employed for smaller meetings without sound booths and headphones. Consecutive
interpretation also requires two-person teams. A foreign speaker says his piece while the interpreter, using a
special shorthand, takes notes and during a pause, tells the client what was said.
(Source: retrieved from the Internet)
1. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. changing B. concluding C. understanding D. reading

shown in cinemas. By keeping his costs down and distributing digital, Mr Swanberg is making a living. Line 6
Technology was expected to help young people like him. A few years ago it was predicted that the Line 7
internet would vastly increase the supply of small independent films and other niche media products Line 8

Part 2: Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question. (5pts)
Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an overview before reading.
Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which often needs jumping forward or
backward to process information). They also relate important points to one another. Also, they activate and use
their prior knowledge. When they realize that their understanding is not good, they do not wait to change
strategies. Last, they can monitor understanding and take action to correct or “fix up” mistakes in comprehension.
Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study skills. They
tend to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers, parents) to monitor their studying,
for example, low-achieving students often do not monitor their understanding of content; they may not be aware
of the purpose of studying; and they show little evidence of looking back, or employing “fix-up” strategies to fix
understanding problems. Students who struggle with learning new information seem to be unaware that they
must extent effort beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it. Children with learning
disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying may be disorganized. Students
with learning problems face challenges with personal organization as well. They often have difficulty keeping
track of materials and assignments, following directions, and completing work on time. Unlike good studiers who
employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful manner, low-achieving students use a restricted range
of study skills. They cannot explain why good study strategies are important for learning; and they tend to use
the same, often ineffective study approach for all learning tasks, ignoring task content, structure or difficulty.
(Source: Adapted from Study Skills: Managing Your Learning — NUI Galway)

Part 3: Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.(5pts)
Simply being bilingual doesn’t qualify someone to interpret. Interpreting is not only a mechanical process
of converting one sentence in language A into the same sentence in language B. Rather, it’s a complex art in
which thoughts and idioms that have no obvious counterparts from tongue to tongue - or words that have
several meanings must be quickly transformed in such a way that the message is clearly and accurately expressed to the listener.
At one international conference, an American speaker said, “You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear”,
which meant nothing to the Spanish audience. The interpretation was, “A monkey in a silk dress is still a
monkey” _ an idiom the Spanish understood and that expressed the same idea.
There are 2 kinds of interpreters, simultaneous and consecutive. The former, sitting in a separated booth,
usually at a large multilingual conference, speaks to listeners wearing headphones, interpreting what a foreign
language speaker says _ actually a sentence behind. Consecutive interpreters are the ones most international
negotiations use. They are employed for smaller meetings without sound booths and headphones. Consecutive
interpretation also requires two-person teams. A foreign speaker says his piece while the interpreter, using a
special shorthand, takes notes and during a pause, tells the client what was said.
(Source: retrieved from the Internet)
1. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To differentiate between simultaneous and consecutive interpreters.
B. To state the qualifications of an interpreter.

A. The size of group with whom they work.
B. Their proficiency in the language.
C. The type of dictionary they use. D. The money they are paid.

A. very complex and demanding
