May 7, 1840, was the birthday of one of the most famous Russian composers of the nineteenth
century Peter Illich Tchaikovsky. The son of a mining inspector, Tchaikovsky studied music as a
child and later studied composition at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. His greatest period of
productivity occurred between 1876 and 1890, during which time he enjoyed the patronage of
Madame von Meck, a woman he never met, who gave him a living stipend of about $1,000.00 a year.
Madame von Meck later terminated her friendship with Tchaikovsky, as well as his living allowance,
when she, herself, was facing financial difficulties. It was during the time of Madame von Meck's
patronage, however, that Tchaikovsky created the music for which he is most famous, including the
music for the ballets of Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty.
Tchaikovsky's music, well known for its rich melodic and sometimes melancholy passages, was
one of the first that brought serious dramatic music to dance. Before this, little attention had been
given to the music behind the dance. Tchaikovsky died on November 6, 1893, ostensibly of cholera,
though there are now some scholars who argue that he committed suicide.

Part 2. Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question
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'.

70. It can be inferred that _________.
A. most movie theaters had a pianist
B. sound-effects machines were not common because they were expensive
C. orchestras couldn't synchronize sound with the pictures
D. gramophones were developed about the same time as moving pictures.
71. According to the passage, gramophones were ineffective because they _________.
A. got out of synchronization with the picture.
B. were too large for most movie theaters.
C. were newly invented and still had imperfections

The idea (1) that a blind person could drive a car sounds crazy. And the concept of someone who can’t
see driving a car (2) at almost 150 miles per hour sounds even crazier. Miranda Naylor, a blind accountant
from Southport, has done exactly that in an attempt to (3) raise money for charity. Mrs. Naylor (4) drove a
sports car for two miles in a straight line along the runway of a disused airfield. She was in radio contact with
her husband Pete Naylor, (5) who was able to give her directions and advice in this way. Her amazing
achievement is expected to raise about £50,000, which will be donated (6) to a company that trains dogs for
the blind. Mrs. Naylor has been blind (7) since she was six years old and she still has some visual memories
of the world around her. She admits that not having her sight makes her life awkward at times. She believes
that if you are disabled in any way, you shouldn’t waste time (8) feeling sorry for yourself. “It makes a lot of
sense to keep busy” she says. “Achieving something can (9) be a great source of self confidence”. Miranda is
now looking for a new challenge and (10) would like to ride a motorbike.
