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 following questions from 17 to 24.

Newspapers can be traced back to 16th century Venice. In 1566, handwritten news sheets - called 'avis' or ‘gazette' – filled with information on wars and politics in Europe were distributed weekly in Venice. Similar news sheets soon started to appear in other European countries. By 1615, Germany and Austria were publishing weeklies. And in 1621, the first news sheets appeared in England.

At first, these news sheets only printed news which came from outside the country in which they were printed. Discussion of local or national issues was avoided. Europe’s governments did not tolerate anything negative being said about them as it could lead to national unrest.

Such censorship slowed the development of newspapers. Nevertheless, a belief in the importance of a 'free press’ slowly began to take hold in Europe. England was among the first countries to escape government control of the press. This occurred during the reign of King Charles I in the 17th century, when, during a period of breakdown in the king's authority, people began to publish what they wanted.

Eventually, free press had the right to criticize government and voice other ideas freely. In the middle of the 18th century, Sweden became the first country to make press freedom a part of its law.

In the 19th century, the newspaper industry was transformed by the invention of the telegraph. The telegraph was a communication system that allowed messages to be sent over long distances in a matter of minutes. It wasn’t long before newspapers became society's primary means of spreading and receiving information. In 1880, the first photographs appeared in newspapers and, by the end of the century, all the basic technical tools for the modern newspaper were in place.

The story of newspapers in the 20th century was one of adaptation to changing consumer and media markets. The invention of radio, TV, and later the Internet, repeatedly drove newspapers to re-invent themselves. Also, during the 20th century, mass-market advertising increased profitability for newspapers. This attracted large, publicly-owned corporations who began buying newspapers from the descendants of company founders.

Over the years, people have periodically predicted the extinction of newspapers. In fact, every time a new media has come into being, dire predictions have been made for existing forms (e.g. television was supposed to have replaced radio, radio was supposed to have replaced newspapers). Yet history has repeatedly shown that new media do not replace existing media. Instead, what happens is that media consumption grows, which creates the necessary space for the new media to become a part of the media landscape.

According to the World Association of Newspapers (WAN), each day more than 1.5 billion people around the world read a newspaper. The WAN has also estimated the total annual worth of the global newspaper industry and put it at just under 180 billion USD. Such statistics suggest the newspaper industry is healthier than at any other time in its history. Indeed, if the industry proves itself as capable of adapting to change as it has done in the past, it is unlikely that newspapers will be disappearing from newsstands anytime soon.

A. were checked by authorities

Dịch bài đọc:

Báo chí có thể được tìm thấy nguồn gốc ở Venice thế kỷ 16. Năm 1566, các tờ tin viết tay - được gọi là 'avis' hay 'gazette'- chứa đầy thông tin về các cuộc chiến tranh và chính trị ở châu Âu đã được phân phát hàng tuần ở Venice. Các tờ tin tương tự sớm bắt đầu xuất hiện ở các nước châu Âu khác. Đến năm 1615, Đức và Áo đã xuất bản theo tuần. Và vào năm 1621, những tờ tin đầu tiên xuất hiện ở Anh.

Lúc đầu, những tờ tin này chỉ in những tin tức đến từ bên ngoài quốc gia mà chúng được in. Thảo luận về các vấn đề địa phương hoặc quốc gia đã được tránh. Chính phủ các nước Châu Âu không chấp nhận bất cứ điều gì tiêu cực khi nói về họ vì điều đó có thể dẫn đến tình trạng bất ổn quốc gia.

Sự kiểm duyệt chặt chẽ đó làm chậm sự phát triển của báo chí. Tuy nhiên, niềm tin vào tầm quan trọng của “tự do báo chí” dần dần bắt đầu trở nên mạnh mẽ ở châu Âu. Anh là một trong những quốc gia đầu tiên thoát khỏi sự kiểm soát của chính phủ đối với báo chí. Điều này xảy ra dưới triều đại của vua Charles I vào thế kỷ 17, trong một thời kỳ suy sụp của chính quyền của nhà vua, người ta bắt đầu xuất bản những gì họ muốn.

Cuối cùng, báo chí tự do có quyền chỉ trích chính phủ và nói lên những ý tưởng khác một cách tự do. Vào giữa thế kỷ 18, Thụy Điển trở thành quốc gia đầu tiên biến tự do báo chí trở thành một phần của luật pháp.

Vào thế kỷ 19, ngành công nghiệp báo chí đã được thay đổi nhờ phát minh ra máy điện báo. Máy điện báo là một hệ thống liên lạc cho phép gửi các tin nhắn qua khoảng cách xa chỉ trong vài phút. Không lâu sau đó, báo chí trở thành phương tiện truyền bá và tiếp nhận thông tin chính của xã hội. Năm 1880, những bức ảnh đầu tiên xuất hiện trên các tờ báo và vào cuối thế kỷ, tất cả các công cụ kỹ thuật cơ bản cho báo chí hiện đại đều đã có.

Câu chuyện của các tờ báo trong thế kỷ 20 là một trong những thích ứng với việc thay đổi thị trường tiêu dùng và truyền thông. Việc phát minh ra đài phát thanh, TV và sau đó là Internet, liên tục thúc đẩy các tờ báo tự làm mới mình. Ngoài ra, trong thế kỷ 20, quảng cáo trên thị trường đại chúng đã tăng lợi nhuận cho các tờ báo. Điều này đã thu hút các tập đoàn lớn, thuộc sở hữu công cộng, những người bắt đầu mua báo từ hậu duệ của những người sáng lập công ty.

Trong những năm qua, mọi người đã định kỳ dự đoán sự biến mất của báo chí. Trên thực tế, mỗi khi một phương tiện truyền thông mới ra đời, những dự đoán tàn khốc đã được đưa ra cho các hình thức hiện có (ví dụ: truyền hình được cho là đã thay thế đài phát thanh, đài phát thanh được cho là đã thay thế báo chí).

Tuy nhiên, lịch sử đã nhiều lần chỉ ra rằng phương tiện truyền thông mới không thay thế phương tiện hiện có. Thay vào đó, những gì xảy ra là lượng tiêu thụ phương tiện truyền thông phát triển, tạo ra không gian cần thiết cho phương tiện truyền thông mới trở thành một phần của thị trường truyền thông.

Theo Hiệp hội Báo chí Thế giới (WAN), mỗi ngày có hơn 1,5 tỷ người trên thế giới đọc một tờ báo. WAN cũng đã ước tính tổng giá trị hàng năm của ngành báo chí toàn cầu và đặt nó ở mức dưới 180 tỷ USD. Số liệu thống kê như vậy cho thấy ngành công nghiệp báo chí đang mạnh hơn bất cứ lúc nào trong lịch sử. Thật vậy, nếu ngành công nghiệp chứng tỏ mình có khả năng thích ứng với sự thay đổi như đã từng làm trong quá khứ, không có khả năng các tờ báo sẽ biến mất khỏi sạp báo sớm.

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 following questions from 17 to 24.

Newspapers can be traced back to 16th century Venice. In 1566, handwritten news sheets - called 'avis' or ‘gazette' – filled with information on wars and politics in Europe were distributed weekly in Venice. Similar news sheets soon started to appear in other European countries. By 1615, Germany and Austria were publishing weeklies. And in 1621, the first news sheets appeared in England.

At first, these news sheets only printed news which came from outside the country in which they were printed. Discussion of local or national issues was avoided. Europe’s governments did not tolerate anything negative being said about them as it could lead to national unrest.

Such censorship slowed the development of newspapers. Nevertheless, a belief in the importance of a 'free press’ slowly began to take hold in Europe. England was among the first countries to escape government control of the press. This occurred during the reign of King Charles I in the 17th century, when, during a period of breakdown in the king's authority, people began to publish what they wanted.

Eventually, free press had the right to criticize government and voice other ideas freely. In the middle of the 18th century, Sweden became the first country to make press freedom a part of its law.

In the 19th century, the newspaper industry was transformed by the invention of the telegraph. The telegraph was a communication system that allowed messages to be sent over long distances in a matter of minutes. It wasn’t long before newspapers became society's primary means of spreading and receiving information. In 1880, the first photographs appeared in newspapers and, by the end of the century, all the basic technical tools for the modern newspaper were in place.

The story of newspapers in the 20th century was one of adaptation to changing consumer and media markets. The invention of radio, TV, and later the Internet, repeatedly drove newspapers to re-invent themselves. Also, during the 20th century, mass-market advertising increased profitability for newspapers. This attracted large, publicly-owned corporations who began buying newspapers from the descendants of company founders.

Over the years, people have periodically predicted the extinction of newspapers. In fact, every time a new media has come into being, dire predictions have been made for existing forms (e.g. television was supposed to have replaced radio, radio was supposed to have replaced newspapers). Yet history has repeatedly shown that new media do not replace existing media. Instead, what happens is that media consumption grows, which creates the necessary space for the new media to become a part of the media landscape.

According to the World Association of Newspapers (WAN), each day more than 1.5 billion people around the world read a newspaper. The WAN has also estimated the total annual worth of the global newspaper industry and put it at just under 180 billion USD. Such statistics suggest the newspaper industry is healthier than at any other time in its history. Indeed, if the industry proves itself as capable of adapting to change as it has done in the past, it is unlikely that newspapers will be disappearing from newsstands anytime soon.

Trong đoạn 1, chúng ta biết được rằng ___.

A. Châu Âu đã xảy ra chiến tranh vào năm 1566

B. tin tức lan truyền chậm chạm ở châu Âu

C. báo chí lấy tên của nó từ tờ tin ở thế kỷ 16

D. ấn bản hàng ngày của báo chí là một sự phát triển sau này

Thông tin: Newspapers can be traced back to 16th century Venice. In 1566, handwritten news sheets - called 'avis' or ‘gazette' – filled with information on wars and politics in Europe were distributed weekly in Venice. Similar news sheets soon started to appear in other European countries. By 1615, Germany and Austria were publishing weeklies. And in 1621, the first news sheets appeared in England.

Tạm dịch: Năm 1566, các tờ tin viết tay - được gọi là 'avis' hay 'gazette'- chứa đầy thông tin về các cuộc chiến tranh và chính trị ở châu Âu đã được phân phát hàng tuần ở Venice. Các tờ tin tương tự sớm bắt đầu xuất hiện ở các nước châu Âu khác. Đến năm 1615, Đức và Áo đã xuất bản theo tuần. Và vào năm 1621, những tờ tin đầu tiên xuất hiện ở Anh.

Các mốc thời gian ở đoạn 1 chưa nhắc đến “ấn bản hàng ngày của báo chí” => ấn bản hàng ngày của báo chí là một sự phát triển sau này.
