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
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 reduction 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, whateverits 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 specialised 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.
All of the following might be the factors that affected the continuation of the old shared literacy culture EXCEPT ______.
A. the inappropriate reading skills
B. the specialized readership
C. the diversity of reading materials

Dịch bài
Đọc cho chính mình là một hoạt động hiện đại mà hầu như các học giả của thế giới cổ điển và thời trung cổ gần như không biết đến, trong khi trong thế kỷ thứ mười lăm, thuật ngữ đọc sách Hồi chắc chắn có nghĩa là đọc to. Chỉ trong thế kỷ XIX, việc đọc thầm đã trở nên phổ biến.
Tuy nhiên, người ta nên cảnh giác khi cho rằng việc đọc thầm lặng xuất hiện đơn giản vì đọc to là một sự phân tâm đối với người khác. Việc kiểm tra các yếu tố liên quan đến sự phát triển lịch sử của việc đọc im lặng đã tiết lộ rằng nó trở thành chế độ đọc thông thường đối với hầu hết người lớn chủ yếu là do bản thân các nhiệm vụ đã thay đổi trong tính cách.
Thế kỷ trước đã chứng kiến sự gia tăng dần dần về tỷ lệ biết đọc biết viết và do đó về số lượng độc giả. Khi số lượng độc giả tăng lên, số lượng người nghe tiềm năng giảm xuống và do đó có một số giảm nhu cầu đọc to. Khi việc đọc vì lợi ích của người nghe ngày càng ít phổ biến, do đó, việc đọc thành một hoạt động riêng tư ở những nơi công cộng như thư viện, toa xe lửa và văn phòng, việc đọc to sẽ gây mất tập trung cho những người đọc khác. Đến cuối thế kỷ, vẫn còn nhiều tranh cãi về việc liệu sách nên được sử dụng cho thông tin hay được đối xử tôn trọng và liệu việc đọc các tài liệu như báo chí có phần nào bị suy yếu về mặt tinh thần. Thật vậy, tranh luận này vẫn còn với chúng tôi vẫn còn trong giáo dục. Tuy nhiên, dù đức tính là gì, văn hóa chia sẻ cũ đã biến mất và được thay thế bằng các phương tiện thông tin đại chúng được in một mặt và các cuốn sách và tạp chí định kỳ cho một độc giả chuyên ngành.
Vào cuối thế kỷ XX, sinh viên được khuyến nghị áp dụng thái độ đối với sách và sử dụng các kỹ năng đọc không phù hợp, nếu không nói là không thể đối với người đọc bằng miệng. Những thay đổi về xã hội, văn hóa và công nghệ trong thế kỷ đã làm thay đổi rất nhiều những gì thuật ngữ đọc sách ám chỉ.

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 reduction 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, whateverits 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 specialised 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.
