In the United States, presidential elections are held in years evenly divisible by four (1888, 1900, 1964, etc.).

Since 1840, American presidents elected in years ending with zero have died in office, with one exception.

William H. Harrison, the man who served the shortest term, died of pneumonia only several weeks after his

inauguration.

Abraham Lincoln was one of four presidents who were assassinated. He was elected in 1860, and his

untimely death came just five years later. James A. Garfield, a former Union army general from Ohio, was shot

during his first year in office (1881) by a man to whom he wouldn't give a job. While in his second term of

office (1901), William McKinley, another Ohioan, attended the Pan- American Exposition in Buffalo, New

York. During the reception, he was assassinated while shaking hands with some of the guests. John F. Kennedy

was assassinated in 1963 in Dallas only three years after his election.

Three years after his election in 1920, Warren G, Harding died in office. Although it was never proved, many

believe he was poisoned. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four times (1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944), the only

man to serve so long a term. He had contracted polio in 1921 and eventually died of the illness in 1945.

Ronald Reagan, who was elected in 1980 and reelected four years later, suffered an assassination attempt but

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 from 61 to 70.

Reality television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or

humorous situations, documents actual events, and features ordinary people rather than professional actors. It

could be described as a form of artificial or "heightened" documentary. Although the genre has existed in some

form or another since the early years of television, the current explosion of popularity dates from around 2000.

Mã đề thi 132 h Trang 7/ 8

Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats, from game or quiz shows which

resemble the frantic, often demeaning programmes produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s (a modern

example is Gaki no tsukai), to surveillance- or voyeurism- focused productions such as Big Brother.

Critics say that the term "reality television" is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently

portray a modified and highly influenced form of reality, with participants put in exotic locations or abnormal

situations, sometimes coached to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events on screen

manipulated through editing and other post-production techniques.

Part of reality television's appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations. For

example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously, travelling on

extraordinary dates to scenic locales. Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national

celebrities, outwardly in talent and performance programs such as Pop Idol, though frequently Survivor and Big

Brother participants also reach some degree of celebrity.

Some commentators have said that the name "reality television" is an inaccurate description for several styles

of program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor, and other

special-living-environment shows like The Real World, the producers design the format of the show and control

the day-to-day activities and the environment, creating a completely fabricated world in which the competition

plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed scenarios, challenges,

events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett, creator of Survivor and

other reality shows, has agreed with this assessment, and avoids the word "reality" to describe his shows; he has

said, "I tell good stories. It really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama."

Question 61: In the first line, the writer says 'it is claimed' because _______

A. they want to distance themselves from the statement.

B. everyone agrees with the statement.

C. no one agrees with the statement.

D. they agree with the statement.

Question 62: Reality television has _______

A. has been popular since approximately 2000.

B. has been popular since well before 2000.

C. has only been popular since 2000.

D. always been this popular.

Question 63: Japan _______

A. is the only place to produce demeaning TV shows.

B. invented surveillance focused productions.

C. has produced demeaning TV shows copied elsewhere.

D. produced Big Brother.

Question 64: People have criticised reality television because _______

A. it is demeaning. B. it shows reality. C. the name is inaccurate. D. it uses exotic locations.

Question 65: Reality TV appeals to some because _______

A. it shows eligible males dating women.

B. it can turn ordinary people into celebrities.

C. it uses exotic locations.

D. it shows average people in exceptional circumstances.
