Read the following passage and then choose the best answer for each question by circling the corresponding letter A, B, C or D from 36 to 40.

The modern comic strip started out as ammunition in a newspaper war between giants of the American press in the late nineteenth century. The first full-color comic strip appeared in January 1894 in the New York World, owned by Joseph Pulitzer. The first regular weekly full-color comic supplement, similar to today’s Sunday funnies, appeared two years later, in William Randolph Hearst’s rival New York paper, the Morning Journal.

Both were immensely popular and publishers realized that supplementing the news with comic relief boosted the sale of papers. The Morning Journal started another feature in 1896, the “Yellow Kid”, the first continuous comic character in the United States, whose creator, Richard Outcault, had been lured away from the World by the ambitious Hearst. The “Yellow Kid” was in many ways a pioneer. Its comic dialogue was the strictly urban farce that came to characterize later strips, and it introduced the speech balloon inside the strip, usually placed above the characters’ heads.

The first strip to incorporate all the elements of later comics was Rudolph Dirks’s “Katzenjammer Kids”, based on Wilhelm Busch’s Max and Moritz, a European satire of the nineteenth century. The “Kids” strip, first published in 1897, served as the prototype for future American strips. It contained not only speech balloons, but a continuous cast of characters, and was divided into small regular panels that did away with the larger panoramic scenes of earlier comics.

Newspaper syndication played a major role in spreading the popularity of comic strips throughout the country. Though weekly colored comics came first, daily black-and-white strips were not far behind. The first appeared in the Chicago American in 1904. It was followed by many imitators, and by 1915 blackand-white comic strips had become a staple of daily newspapers around the country.

According to the passage, the “Yellow Kid” was the first comic strip to do all of the following EXCEPT 

A. feature the same character in each episode 

B. appear in a Chicago newspaper 

C. include dialogue inside a balloon 

D. characterize city life in a humorous way

Dịch bài đọc:

Truyện tranh hiện đại bắt đầu như lý lẽ trong một cuộc chiến báo chí giữa những người nổi tiếng của báo chí Mỹ vào cuối thế kỷ XIX. Truyện tranh màu đầu tiên xuất hiện vào tháng 1 năm 1894 trên tờ New York World, thuộc sở hữu của Joseph Pulitzer. Bản bổ sung truyện tranh màu hàng tuần đầu tiên, tương tự như trò vui ngày Chủ nhật hôm nay, xuất hiện hai năm sau đó, trên tờ báo của William Randolph Hearst - đối thủ của New York, tờ Morning Journal.

Cả hai đều vô cùng nổi tiếng và các nhà xuất bản nhận ra rằng việc bổ sung tin tức bằng cách xuất bản truyện tranh đã thúc đẩy việc bán báo. Morning Journal bắt đầu một ấn phẩm khác vào năm 1896, đó là "Yellow Kid", nhân vật truyện tranh liên tục đầu tiên ở Hoa Kỳ, người sáng tạo, Richard Outcault, đã bị dụ dỗ đến World bởi Hearst đầy tham vọng. "Yellow Kid" là tiên phong. Truyện của nó là mô tả trò vui trong thành phố một cách nghiêm túc để mô tả các truyện sau này, và nó mở đầu cuộc trò chuyện bong bóng, thường được đặt phía trên đầu của các nhân vật.

Truyện đầu tiên kết hợp tất cả các yếu tố của truyện tranh sau này là "Katzenjammer Kids" của Rudolph Dirks, dựa trên Max và Moritz của

Wilhelm Busch , một châm biếm châu Âu của thế kỷ XIX. Truyện Kids, được xuất bản lần đầu tiên vào năm 1897, là nguyên mẫu cho các truyện của Mỹ trong tương lai. Nó không chỉ chứa những bong bóng lời thoại, mà còn chứa một dàn nhân vật liên tục, và được chia thành những ô nhỏ, bỏ đi những bức toàn cảnh lớn hơn của truyện tranh trước đó.

Tổ chức báo chí chung đóng một vai trò quan trọng trong việc truyền bá sự phổ biến của các truyện tranh trên toàn quốc. Mặc dù truyện tranh màu hàng tuần xuất hiện trước, các truyện đen trắng hàng ngày cũng không bị bỏ lại phía sau. Lần đầu tiên xuất hiện ở Chicago American vào năm 1904. Sau đó, nhiều người bắt chước và đến năm 1915, những mẩu truyện tranh đen trắng đã trở thành mục chủ yếu của một tờ báo hàng ngày trên khắp đất nước.

The modern comic strip started out as ammunition in a newspaper war between giants of the American press in the late nineteenth century. The first full-color comic strip appeared January 1894 in the New York World, owned by Joseph Pulitzer. The first regular weekly full-color comic supplement, similar to today's Sunday funnies, appeared two years later, in William Randolph Hearst's rival New York paper, the Morning Journal.

Both were immensely popular, and publishers realized that supplementing the news with comic relief boosted the sale of papers. The Morning Journal started another feature in 1896, the "Yellow Kid," the first continuous comic character in the United States, whose creator, Richard Outcault, had been lured away from the World by the ambitious Hearst. The "Yellow Kid" was in many ways a pioneer. Its comic dialogue was the strictly urban farce that came to characterize later strips, and it introduced the speech ballon inside the strip, usually placed above the characters' heads.

The first strip to incorporate all the elements of later comics was Rudolph Dirks's "Katzenjammer Kids," based on Wilhelm Busch's Max and Moritz, a European satire of the nineteenth century. The "Kids" strip, first published in 1897, served as the prototype for future American strips. It contained not only speech balloons, but a continuous cast of characters, and was divided into small regular panels that did away with the larger panoramic scenes of earlier comics.

Newspaper syndication played a major role in spreading the popularity of comic strips throughout the country. Though weekly colored comics came first, daily black-and-white strips were not far behind.. The first appeared in the Chicago American in 1904. It was followed by many imitators, and by 1915 black-and-white comic strip had become a staple of daily newspapers around the country.
