PART 1: READING SECTION
READING 1
Read the following passage about “TELEVISIONS” and answer the questions that follow. Refer to the
text to check your answers when appropriate.
Televisions show sounds and pictures. They
get data from cables, discs, or over-the-air
signals. They turn this data into sounds and
images. People watch news and shows on
them. You probably call them TVs.

John Baird made the first TV in 1925. It had

one color. It could only show 30 lines. This
was just enough room for a face. It didn't
work well, but it was a start.

The first TV station was set up in 1928. It

was in New York. Few people had TVs. The
broadcasts were not meant to be watched.
They showed a Felix the Cat doll for two
hours a day. The doll spun around on a
record player. They were experimenting. It
took many years to get it right.
By 1948 there were 4 big TV networks in
America. They aired their shows from 8 to 11
each night. Local shows were aired at other
times. Most of the time, nothing was shown
at all. TV was not "always on" like it is now.

By the end of the 1930s, TVs were working
well. America got its first taste at the 1939
World's Fair. This was one of the biggest
events ever. There were 200 small, black and
white TVs set up around the fair. The U.S.
President gave a speech over the TVs. The
TVs were only five inches big but the people
loved it.
Color TVs came out in 1953. They cost too
much money for most. Also, shows were
aired in black and white. By 1965, color TVs
were cheaper. TV stations started airing
shows in color. People had to switch if they
wanted to see the shows.

They wanted TVs. But World War II was
going on during this time. Factories were
busy making guns and bombs. When the war
was over, TV spread across the country.
Now most TVs are high-def. This means that
they have many lines on them. This makes
the image clear. TVs have come a long way
since Baird's 30 line set. High-def TVs have
1080 lines. There are state of the art sets
called 4K TVs. These TVs have 3,840 lines.

they will come up with next. Smell-o-vision
