E. Reading Comprehension
Passage 1
Much of what goes by the name of pleasure is simply an effort to destroy consciousness. If
one started by asking, what is man? What are his needs? How can he best express himself?
One would discover that merely having the power to avoid work and live one’s life from
birth to death in electric light and to the tune of tinned music is not a reason for doing so.
Man needs warmth, society, leisure, comfort and security: he also needs solitude, creative
work and the sense of wonder. If he recognized this he could use the products of science
and industrialism eclectically, applying always the same test: does this make me more
human or less human? He would then learn that the highest happiness does not lie in
_____32. The author would apparently agree that playing poker is _____.
Passage 2
Examine the recently laid egg of some common animal, such as a salamander or newt. It is
a minute spheroid – an apparently structure less sac, enclosing a fluid, holding granules in
suspension. But let a moderate supply of warmth reach its watery cradle, and the plastic
matter undergoes changes so rapid, yet so steady and purposeful in their succession, that
one can only compare them to those operated by a skilled modeler upon a formless lump of
clay. As with an invisible trowel, the mass is divided and subdivided into smaller and
smaller portions. And, then, it is as if a delicate finger traced out the line to be occupied by
the spinal column, and molded the contour of the body; pinching up the head at one end,
the tail at the other, and fashioning flank and limb into due proportions, in so artistic a way,
that, after watching the process hour by hour, one is almost involuntarily possessed by the
notion, that some more subtle aid to vision than a microscope, would show the hidden
artist, with his plan before him, striving with skillful manipulation to perfect his work.
_____33. The author makes his main point with the aid of _______.

b. complex rationalization*

Passage 3
There are not many places that I find it more agreeable to revisit when in an idle mood,
than some places to which I have never been. For, my acquaintance with those spots is of
such long standing, and has ripened into an intimacy of so affectionate a nature, that I take
a particular interesting assuring myself that they are unchanged. I never was in Robinson
Crusoe’s Island, yet I frequently return there. I was never in the robbers’ cave, where Gil
Blas lived, but I often go back there and find the trap-door just as heaven to raise as it used
to be. I was never in Don Quixote’s study, where he read his books of chivalry until he rose
and hacked at imaginary giants, yet you couldn’t move a book in it without my knowledge.
So with Damascus, and Lilliput, and the Nile, and Abyssinia, and the North Pole and many
hundreds of places — I was never at them, yet it is an affair of my life to keep them intact,
Passage 4
The books one reads in childhood create in one’s mind a sort of false map of the world, a
series of fabulous countries into which one can retreat at odd moments throughout the rest
of life, and which in some cases can even survive a visit to the real countries which they are
supposed to represent. The pampas, the Amazon, the coral islands of the Pacific, Russia,
land of birch-tree and samovar, Transylvania with its boyars and vampires, the China of Guy
Boothby, the Paris of du Maurier—one could continue the list for a long time. But one other
imaginary country that I acquired early in life was called America. If I pause on the word
“America”, and deliberately put aside the existing reality, I can call up my childhood vision
of it.
a. paradox
b. legend
