2. 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. In 1826, a Frenchman named Niépce needed pictures for his business. He was not a good artist, so he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph. The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype. Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities, and mountains. In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple and photographers had to carry lots of film and processing equipment. However, this did not stop photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840, daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities. Matthew Brady was one well-known American photographer. He took many portraits of famous people. The portraits were unusual because they were lifelike and full of personality. Brady was also the first person to take pictures of a war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible. In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography. Photographers could buy film ready-made in rolls, instead of having to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later. They did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive. With a small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends, and favorite places. They called these pictures "snapshots". Documentary photographs became popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used them. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawings. Some people began to think of photography as a form of art. They thought that photography could do more than show the real world. It could also show ideas and feelings, like other art forms. (From “Reading Power” by Beatrice S. Mikulecky and Linda Jeffries) Question 10. The word “this” in the passage refers to the___.

That was the name of my blog last year when I took a year out between school and university. I was lucky enough to get a teaching job abroad through an international organization. I was going to work in a school attached to a children’s home in north-west India. There were eight of us on the week-long introduction course in the capital, Delhi. As well as advice and ideas for teaching we were given information about health and local customs, and learned a few essential phrases in the local language. Another course member, Lucy, was coming to the same school as me and we were both nervous when we set off on the 15-hour bus ride to the children's home. I had worked as a classroom assistant before, but here I wouldn't be much older than some of my pupils. How would I manage? My worries disappeared once we reached the home. Our rooms were on the top floor above the girls' bedrooms and from the window we looked out across flat fields full of fruit trees and could just see the snow-covered mountain tops in the distance. There were 90 children in the home, aged between five and 20. In addition there were a small number of pupils who came in each day from the area around. Although they were a little shy to start with, they were so keen to ask us questions that we quickly became friends. Lucy and I taught four lessons a day, mainly spelling, reading and general knowledge. We had a textbook but since it wasn't very exciting, we tried to make the lessons more interesting with activities and games. This wasn't always easy: there was a mixture of ages in each class because pupils had begun their education at different times. Like schoolchildren everywhere, they didn't always behave perfectly in class. However, they used to send us notes apologizing afterwards, or thanking us for an interesting lesson, so we didn't really mind. © Đỗ Bình – THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc – Trang 3/5
4. The best fun came after school, though. We spent many happy hours playing games or football or just chatting with the children. On Friday afternoons, Lucy and I were in charge of sport, which had just been introduced at the school. Trying to organize fifty children into cricket teams is something I'll never forget. Another of my memories is playing in goal for a boys' football game. Even though Lucy and a group of little girls joined in as extra goalkeepers, we still managed to let the other side score! I was terribly sad to leave. I felt I had learned as much as - if not more than - my pupils from the experience. Question 29. What does “This” in paragraph 4 refer to?
