Questions 34-42 .
Many of the computing patterns used today in
elementary arithmetic, such as those for performing
long multiplications and divisions, were developed
as late as the fifteenth century. Two reasons are
usually advanced to account for this tardy
development, namely, the mental difficulties and
the physical difficulties encountered in such work.
The first of these, the mental difficulties, must
be somewhat discounted. The impression
that the ancient numeral systems are not amenable
to even the simplest calculations is
largely based on lack of familiarity with these
systems. It is clear that addition and
subtraction in a simple grouping system require
only ability to count the number symbols of
each kind and then to convert to higher units. No
memorization of number combinations is
needed. In a ciphered numeral system , if sufficient
addition and multiplication tables have
been memorized , the work can proceed much as we
do it today.
The physical difficulties encountered, however,
were quite real. Without a plentiful and
convenient supply of some suitable writing medium,
any very extended development of the
arithmetic process was bound to be hampered .It
must be remembered that our common
machine-made pulp paper is little more than a
hundred years old. The older rag paper was
made by hand and was consequently expensive and
scarce.

Question 11-21:
Printmaking is the generic term for a number
of processes, of which woodcut and engraving are
two prime examples. Prints are made by pressing a
sheet of paper (or other material) against an image-
bearing surface to which ink has been applied.
When the paper is removed, the image adheres to it,
but in reverse.
The woodcut had been used in China from
the fifth century A.D. for applying patterns to
textiles. The process was not introduced into Europe
until the fourteenth century, first for textile
decoration and then for printing on paper. Woodcuts
are created by a relief process; first, the artist takes a
block of wood, which has been sawed parallel to the
grain, covers it with a white ground, and then draws
the image in ink. The background is carved away,
leaving the design area slightly raised. The
woodblock is inked, and the ink adheres to the
raised image. It is then transferred to damp paper
either by hand or with a printing press.
Engraving, which grew out of the
goldsmith's art, originated in Germany and northern
Italy in the middle of the fifteenth century. It is an
intaglio process (from Italian intagliare, "to carve").
The image is incised into a highly polished metal
plate, usually copper, with a cutting instrument, or
burin. The artist inks the plate and wipes it clean so
that some ink remains in the incised grooves. An
impression is made on damp paper in a printing
press, with sufficient pressure being applied so that
the paper picks up the ink.
Both woodcut and engraving have
distinctive characteristics. Engraving lends itself to
subtle modeling and shading through the use of fine
lines. Hatching and cross-hatching determine the
degree of light and shade in a print. Woodcuts tend
to be more linear, with sharper contrasts between
light and dark. Printmaking is well suited to the
production of multiple images. A set of multiples is
called an edition. Both methods can yield several
hundred good-quality prints before the original
block or plate begins to show signs of wear. Mass
production of prints in the sixteenth century made
images available, at a lower cost, to a much broader
public than before.

READING 1
Questions 1-11
The work of the railroad pioneers in
America became the basis for a great surge of
railroad building halfway through the nineteenth
century that linked the nation together as never
before. Railroads eventually became the nation’s
number one transportation system, and remained so
until the construction of the interstate highway
system halfway through the twentieth century. They
were of crucial importance in stimulating economic
expansion, but their influence reached beyond the
economy and was pervasive in American society at
large. By 1804, English as well as American
inventors had experimented with steam engines for
moving land vehicles. In 1920, John Stevens ran a
locomotive and cars around in a circular track on his
New Jersey estate, which the public saw as an
amusing toy. And in 1825, after opening a short
length of track, the Stockton to Darlington Railroad
in England became the first line to carry general
traffic. American businesspeople, especially those
in the Atlantic coastal region who looked for better
communication with the West, quickly became
interested in the English experiment.
The first company in America to begin
actual operations was the Baltimore and Ohio,
which opened a thirteen- mile length of track in
1830. It used a team of horses to pull a train of
passenger carriages and freight wagons along the
track. Steam locomotive power didn’t come into
regular service until two years later. However, for
the first decade or more, there was not yet a true
railroad system. Even the longest of the lines was
relatively short in the 1830’s, and most of them
served simply to connect water routes to each other,
not to link one railroad to another. Even when two
lines did connect, the tracks often differed in width,
so cars from one line couldn’t fit onto tracks of the
next line. Schedules were unreliable and wrecks
were frequent. Significantly, however, some
important developments during the 1830’s and
1840’s included the introduction of heavier iron
rails, more flexible and powerful locomotives, and
passenger cars were redesigned to become more
stable, comfortable, and larger. By the end of 1830
only 23 miles of track had been laid in the country.
But by 1936, more than 1,000 miles of track had
been laid in eleven States, and within the decade,
almost 3,000 miles had been constructed. By that
early age, the United States had already surpassed
Great Britain in railroad construction, and
particularly from the mid-1860’s, the late nineteenth
century belonged to the railroads.

Questions 20-29
The medieval artists didn’t know about
perspective; they didn’t want to make their people
look like real, individual people in a real, individual
scene. They wanted to show the truth, the eternal
quality of their religious stories. So these artists
didn’t need to know about perspective. In the
European Renaissance period, artists wanted to
show the importance of the individual person and
his or her possessions and surroundings. A flat
medieval style couldn’t show this level of reality
and the artists needed a new technique. It was the
Italian artist Brunelleschi who discovered the
technique of perspective drawing. At first the artists
of the Renaissance only had single-point
perspective. Later they realized that they could have
two-pointed perspective and still later multi-point
perspective. With two-point perspective they could
turn an object (like a building) at an angle to the
picture and draw two sides of it. The technique of
perspective which seems so natural to us now is an
invented technique, a part of the “grammar of
painting”. Like all bits of grammar there are
exceptions about perspective. For example, only
vertical and horizontal surfaces seem to meet on eye
level. Sloping roof tops don’t meet on eye level.
For 500 years, artists in Europe made use of
perspective drawing in their pictures. Nevertheless,
there are a range of priorities that artists in (a) the picture

evolved as a single species spread across the Old (b) advocates
World, with populations in different regions linked (c) inspectors
through genetic and cultural exchange. (d) historians

Of these two models, Out of Africa, which
was originally developed based on fossil evidence,
and supported by much genetic research, has been
favored by the majority of evolution scholars. The
vast majority of these genetic studies have focused
on DNA from living populations, and although
some small progress has been made in recovering
DNA from Neandertal that appears to support multi-
regionalism, the chance of recovering nuclear DNA
from early human fossils is quite slim at present.
Fossils thus remain very much a part of the human
origins debate. Another means of gathering
theoretical evidence is through bones. Examinations
of early modern human skulls from Central Europe
and Australia dated to between 20,000 and 30,000
years old have suggested that both groups
apparently exhibit traits seen in their Middle Eastern
and African predecessors. But the early modern
specimens from Central Europe also display
Neandertal traits, and the early modern Australians
showed affinities to archaic Homo from Indonesia.
Meanwhile, the debate among paleoanthropologists
continues , as supporters of the two hypotheses
challenge the evidence and conclusions of each
other.
30. The passage primarily discusses which of the
following
(a) Evidence that supports the “Out of Africa”
theory
(b) Two hypotheses and some evidence on the
human origins debate
(c) The difficulties in obtaining agreement among
theorists on the human origins debate
(d) That fossils remain very much a part of the
human origins debate
33. All of the following are true except
(a) three methods of gathering evidence are
mentioned in the passage
(b) the multi-regional model goes back further in
history.
(c) the Out of Africa model has had more support
from scholars
(d) DNA studies offer one of the best ways in
future to provide clear evidence.
34. The word “slim” in line 14 is closest in meaning
to
(a) small

35. Which of the following is not true
(a) the vast majority of genetic studies have focused
on living populations
(b) early modern human skulls all support the
same conclusions
(c) both hypotheses focus on Africa as a location for
the new species.
(d) early modern Australian skulls have similarities
to those from Indonesia.

the following
(a) Middle Easterners and Africans
(b) skulls
(c) central Europeans and Australians
(d) traits
37. Which of the following is NOT true about the
two hypotheses
(a) Both hypotheses regard Neandertals to be the
predecessors of modern humans
(b) Genetic studies have supported both hypotheses
(c) Both hypotheses cite Africa as an originating
location.
(d) One hypothesis dates the emergence of homo
sapiens much earlier than the other.
38. It can be inferred from the passage that
(a) there is likely to be an end to the debate in the
near future
(b) the debate will interest historians to take part in
(c) the debate is likely to be less important in future
(d) there is little likelihood that the debate will
die down
39. According to the passage, the multi-regional
evolution model posits far more diverse roots for
our kind because
(a) Evidence from examinations of early modern
human skulls has come from a number of
different parts of the world
(b) DNA from Neandertal appears to support multi-
regionalis
(c) Populations in different regions were linked
through genetic and cultural exchange
(d) This has been supported by fossil evidence
Questions 40-50
Although management principles have been
implemented since ancient times, most management
scholars trace the beginning of modern management
thought back to the early 1900s, beginning with
thepioneering work of Frederick Taylor (1856-
1915). Taylor was the first person to study work
scientifically. He is most famous for introducing
techniques of time and motion study, differential
piece rate systems, and for systematically
specializing the work of operating employees and
managers. Along with other pioneers such as Frank
and Lillian Gilbreth, Taylor set the stage, labeling
his philosophy and methods “scientific
management’. At that time, his philosophy, which
was concerned with productivity, but which was
often misinterpreted as promoting worker interests
at the expense of management, was in marked
contrast to the prevailing industrial norms of worker
exploitation. The time and motion study concepts
were popularized by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth.
The Gilbreths had 12 children. By analyzing
his children’s dishwashing and bedmaking chores,
this pioneer efficiency expert, Frank Gilbreth, hit on
principles whereby workers could eliminate waste
motion. He was memorialized by two of his
children in their 1949 book called “Cheaper by the
Dozen”. The Gilbreth methods included using stop
watches to time worker movements and special
tools (cameras and special clocks) to monitor and
study worker performance, and also involved
identification of“therbligs” (Gilbreth spelled
backwards) – basic motions used in production jobs.
Many of these motions and accompanying times
have been used to determine how long it should take
a skilled worker to perform a given job. In this way
an industrial engineer can get a handle on the
approximate time it should take to produce a
product or provide a service. However, use of work
analysis in this way is unlikely to lead to useful
results unless all five work dimensions are
considered: physical, psychological, social, cultural,
and power.

Questions 1-5
When we accept the evidence of our unaided
eyes and describe the Sun as a yellow star, we have
summed up the most important single fact about it-
at this moment in time. It appears probable,
however, that sunlight will be the color we know for
only a negligibly small part of the Sun's history.
Stars, like individuals, age and change. As we look
out into space, we see around us stars at all stages of
evolution. There are faint blood-red dwarfs so cool
that their surface temperature is a mere 4,000
degrees Fahrenheit, there are searing ghosts blazing
at 100, 000 degrees Fahrenheit and almost too hot to
be seen, for the great part of their radiation is in the
invisible ultraviolet range.
Obviously, the "daylight" produced by
any star depends on its temperature; today(and
for ages to come) our Sun is at about 10,000
degrees Fahrenheit, and this means that most
of the Sun's light is concentrated in the yellow
band of the spectrum, falling slowly in
intensity toward both the longer and shorter
light waves.
That yellow "hump" will shift as the Sun
evolves, and the light of day will change
accordingly. It is natural to assume that as the
Sun grows older, and uses up its hydrogen
fuel-which it is now doing at the spanking rate
of half a billion tons a second- it will become
steadily colder and redder.

(A) Faint dwarf stars
(B) The evolutionary cycle of the Sun

Questions 1-6
If by "suburb" is meant an urban
margin that grows more rapidly than its
already developed interior, the process of
suburbanization began during the emergence
of the industrial city in the second quarter of
the nineteenth century. Before that period the
city was a small highly compact cluster in
which people moved about on foot and goods
were conveyed by horse and cart. But the
early factories built in the 1830's and 1840's
were located along waterways and near
railheads at the edges of cities, and housing
was needed for the thousands of people drawn
by the prospect of employment. In time, the
factories were surrounded by proliferating
mill towns of apartments and row houses that
abutted the older, main cities. As a defense
against this encroachment and to enlarge their
tax bases, the cities appropriated their
industrial neighbors. In 1854, for example, the
city of Philadelphia annexed most of
Philadelphia County. Similar municipal
maneuvers took place in Chicago and in New
York Indeed, most great cities of the United
States achieved such status only by
incorporating the communities along their
borders.
With the acceleration of industrial
growth came acute urban crowding and
accompanying social stress conditions that
began to approach disastrous proportions
when, in 1888, the first commercially
successful electric traction line was
developed. Within a few years the horse -
drawn trolleys were retired and electric
streetcar networks crisscrossed and connected
every major urban area, fostering a wave of
suburbanization that transformed the compact
industrial city into a dispersed metropolis.
This first phase of mass - scale
suburbanization was reinforced by the
simultaneous emergence of the urban Middle
class whose desires for homeownership In
neighborhoods far from the aging inner city
were satisfied by the developers of single-
family housing tracts.

Questions 1-7
The first English attempts to colonize
North America were controlled by
individuals rather than companies. Sir
Humphrey Gilbert was the first Englishman
to send colonists to the New World. His
initial expedition, which sailed in 1578 with
 a patent granted by Queen Elizabeth was
defeated by the Spanish. A second attempt
ended in disaster in 1583, when Gilbert and
hi ship were lost in a storm. In the following
year, Gilbert's half brother, Sir Water
Raleigh, having obtained a renewal of the
patent, sponsored an expedition that
explored the coast of the region that he
named "Virginia". Under Raleigh's direction
efforts were then made to establish a colony
on Roanoke island in 1585 an6 1587. The
survivors of the first settlement on Roanoke
returned to England in 1586, but the second
group of colonists disappeared without
leaving a trace. The failure of the Gilbert
and Raleigh ventures made it clear that the
tasks they had undertaken were too big for
any one colonizer. Within a short time the
trading company had supplanted the
individual promoter of colonization.

Questions 1-7
Botany, the study of plants, occupies a
peculiar position in the history of human
knowledge. For many thousands of years it
was the one field of awareness about which
humans had anything more than the vaguest
of insights. It is impossible to know today just
what our Stone Age ancestors knew about
plants, but from what we can observe of pre-
industrial societies that still exist, a detailed
learning of plants and their properties must be
extremely ancient. This is logical. Plants are
the basis of the food pyramid for all living
things, even for other plants. They have
always been enormously important to the
welfare of peoples, not only for food, but also
for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes: medicines,
shelter, and a great many other purposes.
Tribes living today in the jungles of the
Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants
and know many properties of each. To them
botany, as such, has no name and is probably
not even recognized as a special branch of
"Knowledge at all.
Unfortunately, the more industrialized
we become the farther away we move from
direct contact with plants, and the less distinct
our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone
comes unconsciously on an amazing amount
of botanical knowledge, and few people will
fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid.
When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the
Middle East about 10,000 years ago,
discovered that certain grasses could be
harvested and their seeds planted for richer
yields the next season, the first great step in a
new association of plants and humans was
taken. Grains were discovered and from them
flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated
crops. From then on, humans would
increasingly take their living from the
controlled production of a few plants, rather
than getting a little here and a little there from
many varieties that grew wild – and the
accumulated knowledge' of tens of thousands
of years of experience and intimacy with
plants in the wild would begin to fade away.
1. Which of the following assumptions about early
humans is expressed in the passage?
(A) They probably had extensive knowledge of
plants.
(B) They thought there was no need to cultivate
crops.
(C) They did not enjoy the study of botany.
(D) They placed great importance on the ownership
of property.
2. What does the comment "This is logical" in line 6
mean?
(A) There is no clear way to determine the extent of
our ancestor’s knowledge of plants.
(B) It is not surprising that early humans had a
detailed knowledge of plants.
(C) It is reasonable to assume that our ancestors
behaved very much like people in preindustrial
societies.
(D) Human knowledge of plants is well organized
and very detailed.
3. According to the passage, why has general
knowledge of botany begun to fade?
(A) People no longer value plants as a useful
resource.
(B) Botany is not recognized as a special branch of
science.
(C) Research is unable to keep up with the
increasing numbers of plants.
(D) Direct contact with a variety of plants has
decreased.
4. In line 16, what is the author’s purpose in
mentioning "a rose, an apple, or an orchid"?
(A) To make the passage more poetic
(B) To cite examples of plants that are attractive
(C) To give botanical examples that all readers
will recognize
(D) To illustrate the diversity of botanical life
5. According to the passage, what was the first great
step toward the practice of agriculture?

Questions 1-7
It was not "the comet of the century
experts predicted it might be. Nevertheless,
Kohoutek had provided a bonanza of
scientific information. It was first spotted 370
million miles from Earth, by an astronomer
who was searching the sky for asteroids, and
after whom the comet was named. Scientists
who tracked Kohoutek the ten months before
it passed the Earth predicted the comet would
be a brilliant spectacle. But Kohoutek fell
short of these predictions, disappointing
millions of amateur sky watchers, when it
proved too pale to be seen with the unaided
eye. Researchers were delighted nonetheless
with the nevi information they were able to
glean from their investigation of the comet.
Perhaps the most significant discovery was
the identification of two important chemical
compounds-methyl cyanide and hydrogen
cyanide-never before seen in comets, but
found in the far reaches of interstellar space.
This discovery revealed new clues about the
origin of comets. Most astronomers agree that
comets are primordial remnants from the
formation of the solar system, but whether
they were born between Jupiter and Neptune
or much farther out toward interstellar space
has been the subject of much debate. If
compounds no more complex than ammonia
and methane, key components of Jupiter, were
seen in comets, it would suggest that comets
form within the planetary orbits. But more
complex compounds such as the methyl
cyanide found in Kohoutek, point to
formation far beyond the planets there the
deep freeze of space has kept them
unchanged.
1. What is the subject of the passage?
(A) What was learned from Kohoutek
(B) What was disappointing about Kohoutek
(C) Where Kohoutek was spotted

(A) It was thought to be extremely old.
(B) It passes the Earth once a century.
(C) Scientists predicted it would be very bright.
(D) Scientists have been tracking it for a century.
3. In what respect was Kohoutek a disappointment?
(A) It could be seen only through special
equipment.
(B) It did not approach the Earth.
(C) It did not provide valuable scientific
information.
(D) It was moving too rapidly for scientists to
photograph.

 Amelia Earhart was born in Kansas in 1897.
Thirty one years later, she received a phone call that
would change her life. She was invited to become
the first woman passenger to cross the Atlantic
Ocean in a plane. The flight took more than 20
hours – about three times longer than it routinely
takes today to cross the Atlantic by plane. Earhart
was twelve years old before she ever saw an
airplane, and she didn’t take her first flight until
1920. But she was so thrilled by her first experience
in a plane that she quickly began to take flying
lessons. She wrote, “As soon as I left the ground, I
knew I myself had to fly.”
After that flight Earhart became a media
sensation. She was given a ticker tape parade down
Broadway in New York and even President
Coolidge called to congratulate her. Because her
record-breaking career and physical appearance
were similar to pioneering pilot and American hero
Charles Lindbergh, she earned the nickname “Lady
Lindy.” She wrote a book about her flight across the
Atlantic, called 20 Hrs., 40 Min.
Earhart continued to break records, and also
polished her skills as a speaker and writer, always
advocating women’s achievements, especially in
aviation. Her next goal was to achieve a
transatlantic crossing alone. In 1927 Charles
Lindbergh became the first person to make a solo
nonstop flight across the Atlantic. Five years later,
Earhart became the first woman to repeat that feat.
Her popularity grew even more and she was the
undisputed queen of the air. She then wanted to fly
around the world, and in June 1937 she left Miami
with Fred Noonan as her navigator. No one knows
why she left behind important communication and
navigation instruments. Perhaps it was to make
room for additional fuel for the long flight. The pair
made it to New Guinea in 21 days and then left for
Howland Island, a tiny island in the middle of the
Pacific Ocean. The last communication from
Earhart and Noonan was on July 2, 1937 with a
nearby Coast Guard ship. The United States Navy
conducted a massive search for more than two
weeks but no trace of the plane or its passengers
was ever found. Many people believe they got lost
and simply ran out of fuel and died.

Question 1-10
Music can bring us to tears or to our feet,
drive us into battle or lull us to sleep. Music is
indeed remarkable in its power over all
humankind, and perhaps for that very reason,
no human culture on earth has ever lived
without it. From discoveries made in France
and Slovenia even Neanderthal man, as long
as 53,000 years ago, had developed
surprisingly sophisticated, sweet-sounding
flutes carved from animal bones. It is perhaps
then, no accident that music should strike
such a chord with the limbic system – an
ancient part of our brain, evolutionarily
speaking, and one that we share with much of
the animal kingdom. Some researchers even
propose that music came into this world long
before the human race ever did. For example,
the fact that whale and human music have so
much in common even though our
evolutionary paths have not intersected for
nearly 60 million years suggests that music
may predate humans. They assert that rather
than being the inventors of music, we are
latecomers to the musical scene
Humpback whale composers employ
many of the same tricks that human
songwriters do. In addition to using similar
rhythms, humpbacks keep musical phrases to
a few seconds, creating themes out of several
phrases before singing the next one. Whale
songs in general are no longer than symphony
movements, perhaps because they have a
similar attention span. Even though they can
sing over a range of seven octaves, the whales
typically sing in key, spreading adjacent notes
no farther apart than a scale. They mix
percussive and pure tones in pretty much the
same ratios as human composers – and follow
their ABA form, in which a theme is
presented, elaborated on and then revisited in
a slightly modified form. Perhaps most
amazing, humpback whale songs include
repeating refrains that rhyme. It has been
suggested that whales might use rhymes for
exactly the same reasons that we do: as
devices to help them remember. Whale songs
can also be rather catchy. When a few
humpbacks from the Indian Ocean strayed
into the Pacific, some of the whales they met
there quickly changed their tunes – singing
the new whales’ songs within three short
years. Some scientists are even tempted to
speculate that a universal music awaits
discovery.

Questions 1-6
Steamships were first introduced into
the United States in 1807, and John Molson
built the first steamship in Canada(then called
British North America) in 1809. By the 1830's
dozens of steam vessels were in use in
Canada. They offered the traveler reliable
transportation in comfortable facilities-a
welcome alternative to stagecoach travel,
which at the best of times could only be
described as wretched. This commitment to
dependable river transport became entrenched
with the investment of millions of dollars for
the improvement of waterways. which
included the construction of canals and lock
systems. The Lachine and Welland canals.
two of the most important systems. were
opened in 1825 and 1829, respectively. By the
time that Upper and Lower Canada were
united into the Province of Canada in 1841.
the public debt for canals was more than one
hundred dollars per capita. an enormous sum
for the time. But it may not seem such a great
amount if we consider that improvements
allowed steamboats to remain practical for
most commercial transport in Canada until the

(d) the quota system was introduced to limit Stars, like individuals, age and change. As we
population growth look out into space, We see around us stars at
all stages of evolution. There are faint blood-
red dwarfs so cool that their surface
temperature is a mere 4,000 degrees
Fahrenheit, there are searing ghosts blazing at
100, 000 degrees Fahrenheit and almost too
hot to be seen, for the great part of their
radiation is in the invisible ultraviolet range.
Obviously, the "daylight" produced by any
star depends on its temperature; today(and for
ages to come) our Sun is at about 10,000
degrees Fahrenheit, and this means that most
of the Sun's light is concentrated in the yellow
band of the spectrum, falling slowly in
intensity toward both the longer and shorter
light waves.
That yellow "hump" will shift as the Sun
evolves, and the light of day will change
accordingly. It is natural to assume that as the
Sun grows older, and uses up its hydrogen
fuel-which it is now doing at the spanking rate
of half a billion tons a second- it will become
steadily colder and redder.

age, it is likely to become what color?
(A) Yellow

refer?
(A) yellow "hump"
(B) day
(C) Sun

Passage 4
If by "suburb" is meant an urban
margin that grows more rapidly than its
already developed interior, the process of
suburbanization began during the emergence
of the industrial city in the second quarter of
the nineteenth century. Before that period the
city was a small highly compact cluster in
which people moved about on foot and goods
were conveyed by horse and cart. But the
early factories built in the 1830's and 1840's
were located along waterways and near
railheads at the edges of cities, and housing
was needed for the thousands of people drawn
by the prospect of employment. In time, the
factories were surrounded by proliferating
mill towns of apartments and row houses that
abutted the older, main cities. As a defense
against this encroachment and to enlarge their
tax bases, the cities appropriated their
industrial neighbors. In 1854, for example, the
city of Philadelphia annexed most of
Philadelphia County. Similar municipal
maneuvers took place in Chicago and in New
York Indeed, most great cities of the United
States achieved such status only by
incorporating the communities along their
borders.
With the acceleration of industrial
growth came acute urban crowding and
accompanying social stress conditions that
began to approach disastrous proportions
when, in 1888, the first commercially
successful electric traction line was
developed. Within a few years the horse -
drawn trolleys were retired and electric
streetcar networks crisscrossed and connected
every major urban area, fostering a wave of
suburbanization that transformed the compact
industrial city into a dispersed metropolis.
This first phase of mass - scale
suburbanization was reinforced by the
simultaneous emergence of the urban Middle
class whose desires for homeownership In
neighborhoods far from the aging inner city
were satisfied by the developers of single-
family housing tracts.

The first jazz musicians played in New
Orleans during the early 1900's. After 1917.
many of the New Orleans musicians moved to
the south side of Chicago. where they
continued to play their style of jazz. Soon
Chicago was the new-center for jazz.
Several outstanding musicians
emerged as leading jazz artists in Chicago.
Daniel Lotus "Satchmo" Armstrong, born in
New Orleans in 1900, was one. Another
leading musician was Joseph king Oliver. who
is also credited with having discovered
Armstrong, when they were both in New
Orleans. While in Chicago. Oliver asked
Armstrong, who was in New Orleans, to join
his band. In 1923 King Oliver's Creole Jazz
Band made the first important set of
recordings by a Hot Five and Hot Seven
bands under Louis Armstrong also made
recordings of special note.
Although Chicago’s South Side was the
main jazz center, some musicians in New
York were also demanding attention in jazz
circles. In 1923 Fletcher Henderson already
had a ten - piece band that played jazz. During
the early 1930’s, the number of players grew
to sixteen. Henderson' s band was considered
a leader in what some people have called the
Big Band Era. By the 1930’s. big dance bands
were the rage. Large numbers of people went
to ballrooms to dance to jazz music played by
big bands.
One of the most popular and also a very
famous jazz band was the Duke Eilington
band. Edward "Duke" Ellington was born in
Washington, D.C., in 1899 and died in New
York City in 1974. He studied the piano as a
young boy and later began writing original
musical compositions. The first of Ellington's
European tours came in 1933. He soon
received international fame for his talent as a
 band leader, composer. and arranger. Ten
years later, Ellington began giving annual
concerts at Carnegic Hall in New York City.
People began to listen to jazz in the same way,
that they had always listened to classical
music.

Questions 1-11
Jazz has been called “the art of
expression set to music”, and “America’s
great contribution to music”. It has
functioned as popular art and enjoyed periods
of fairly widespread public response, in the
“jazz age” of the 1920s, in the “swing era” of
the late 1930s and in the peak popularity of
modern jazz in the late 1950s. The standard
legend about Jazz is that it originated around
the end of the 19th century in New Orleans
and moved up the Mississippi River to
Memphis, St. Louis, and finally to Chicago. It
welded together the elements of Ragtime,
marching band music, and the Blues.
However, the influences of what led to those
early sounds goes back to tribal African drum
beats and European musical structures.
Buddy Bolden, a New Orleans barber and
cornet player, is generally considered to have
been the first real Jazz musician, around
1891.
What made Jazz significantly
different from the other earlier forms of
music was the use of improvisation. Jazz
displayed a break from traditional music
where a composer wrote an entire piece of
music on paper, leaving the musicians to
break their backs playing exactly what was
written on the score. In a Jazz piece,
however, the song is simply a starting point,
or sort of skeletal guide for the Jazz
musicians to improvise around. Actually,

 Questions 12-21
The Moon has been worshipped by
primitive peoples and has inspired humans to
create everything from lunar calendars to love
sonnets, but what do we really know about it?
The most accepted theory about the origin of
Line
the Moon is that it was formed of the debris
(5) from a massive collision with the young Earth
about 4.6 billion years ago. A huge body,
perhaps the size of Mars, struck the Earth,
throwing out an immense amount of debris
that coalesced and cooled in orbit around the
Earth.
The development of Earth is
inextricably linked to the moon; the Moon’s
gravitational influence upon the Earth is the
(10) primary cause of ocean tides. In fact, the
Moon has more than twice the effect upon the
tides than does the Sun. The Moon makes one
rotation and completes a revolution around
the Earth every 27 days, 7 hours, and 43
minutes. This synchronous rotation is caused
by an uneven distribution of mass in the
Moon (essentially, it is heavier on one side
than the other) and has allowed the Earth’s
(15) gravity to keep one side of the Moon
permanently facing Earth. It is an average
distance from Earth of 384,403 km.
The Moon has no atmosphere; without
an atmosphere, the Moon has nothing to
protect it from meteorite impacts, and thus the
surface of the Moon is covered with impact
(20) craters, both large and small. The Moon also
has no active tectonic or volcanic activity, so
the erosive effects of atmospheric weathering,
tectonic shifts, and volcanic upheavals that
tend to erase and reform the Earth’s surface
features are not at work on the Moon. In fact,
even tiny surface features such as the footprint
left by an astronaut in the lunar soil are likely
(25) to last for millions of years, unless obliterated
by a chance meteorite strike. The surface
gravity of the Moon is about one-sixth that of
the Earth’s. Therefore, a man weighing 82
kilograms on Earth would only weigh 14
kilograms on the Moon.
The geographical features of the Earth most
like that of the Moon are, in fact, places such
as the Hawaiian volcanic craters and the huge
meteor crater in Arizona. The climate of the
Moon is very unlike either Hawaii or Arizona,
however; in fact the temperature on the Moon
ranges between 123 degrees C. to –233
degrees C.
12. What is the passage primarily about?
(A) the Moon’s effect upon the Earth

(A) older than the Earth
(B) protected by a dense atmosphere

tectonic or volcanic activity
(C) to explain why the Moon has no plant life
because of meteorites
(D) to explain the corrosive effects of atmospheric
weathering

20. All of the following are true about the Moon
EXCEPT

(B) it is heavier on one side than the other
(C) it is unable to protect itself from meteorite
attacks

21. Which of the following can be inferred from the
passage?
(A) the Moon is not able to support human life
(B) if the Moon had no gravitational influence, the

Questions 22-31
People of Hispanic origin were on the
North American continent centuries before
settlers arrived from Europe in the early 1600s
and the thirteen colonies joined together to form
the United States in the late 1700s. The first
Line census of the new nation was conducted in 1790,
(5) and counted about four million people, most of
whom were white. Of the white citizens, more
than 80% traced their ancestry back to England.
There were close to 700,000 slaves and about
60,000 “free Negroes”. Only a few Native
American Indians who paid taxes were included
in the census count, but the total Native
American population was probably about one
million.
(10) By 1815, the population of the United
States was 8.4 million. Over the next 100 years,
the country took in about 35 million
immigrants, with the greatest numbers coming
in the late 1800s and early 1900s. In 1882,
40,000 Chinese arrived, and between 1900 and
1907, there were more than 30,000 Japanese
immigrants. But by far, the largest numbers of
the new immigrants were from central, eastern,
(15) and southern Europe.
An enormous amount of racial and ethnic
assimilation has taken place in the United
States. In 1908, play-write Israel Zangwill first
used the term “melting pot” to describe the
concept of a place where many races melted in
a crucible and re-formed to populate a new
land. Some years during the first two decades
of the 20th century, there were as many as one
million new immigrants per year, an
(20) astonishing 1 percent of the total population of
the United States.
In 1921, however, the country began to
 limit immigration, and the Immigration Act of
1924 virtually closed the door. The total
number of immigrants admitted per year

Questions 32-40
Considered the most influential
architect of his time, Frank Lloyd Wright
(1867-1959) was born in the small rural
community of Richland Center, Wisconsin.
He entered the University of Wisconsin at the
Line age of 15 as a special student, studying
(5) engineering because the school had no course
in architecture. At the age of 20 he then went
to work as a draughtsman in Chicago in order
to learn the traditional, classical language of
architecture. After marrying into a wealthy
business family at the age of 21, Wright set
up house in an exclusive neighborhood in
Chicago, and after a few years of working for
a number of architectural firms, set up his
(10) own architectural office.
For twenty years he brought up a family
of six children upstairs, and ran a thriving
architectural practice of twelve or so
draughtsmen downstairs. Here, in an idyllic
American suburb, with giant oaks, sprawling
lawns, and no fences, Wright built some sixty
rambling homes by the year 1900. He became
the leader of a style known as the “Prairie”
(15) school - houses with low-pitched roofs and
extended lines that blended into the landscape
and typified his style of “organic
architecture”.
By the age of forty-one, in 1908,
Wright had achieved extraordinary social and
professional success. He gave countless
lectures at major universities, and started his
Taliesin Fellowship – a visionary social
workshop in itself. In 1938 he appeared on the
cover of Time magazine, and later, on a two
cent stamp. The most spectacular buildings of
his mature period were based on forms
borrowed from nature, and the intentions were
clearly romantic, poetic, and intensely
personal. Examples of these buildings are
Tokyo’s Imperial Hotel (1915-22: demolished
1968), and New York City’s Guggenheim
Museum (completed 1959) He continued
working until his death in 1959, at the age of
92, although in his later years, he spent as
much time giving interviews and being a
celebrity, as he did in designing buildings.
Wright can be considered an essentially
idiosyncratic architect whose influence was
immense but whose pupils were few.
