 After an absence in thirty years, I decided 
visiting my old school again. I had expected to find changes, 
but no a completely different building. As I walked up the school ground, I wondered for a moment if I had come at the right address. 
The grimy, red brick fortress with their tall windows that had 
looked up grimly on the playground and playing fields 
had swept away. In its place stood a bright, modern block 
risen from the ground on great concrete stilts. A huge expanse 
of glass extending across the face of the building, and in front, 
there was a well-kept lawn where previous there had been 
untidy gravel yard.

III. Read the following passage and choose the best answer. (1.0 pt)
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 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 such 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. there were few places available for private reading 
 B. people relied on reading for entertainment 
 C. few people could read to themselves 
 D. silent reading had not been discovered

 A. an increase in the number of books 	B. a change in the nature of reading

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 that 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
