 Part IV. Reading Comprehension
Choose the best answer to each question based on the information which is stated or implied in
the text.

Text 1
With its radiant color and plantlike shape, the sea anemone looks more like a flower than
an animal. More specifically, the sea anemone is formed quite like the flower for which it is
named, with a body like a stem and tentacles like petals in brilliant shades of blue, green,
pink, and red. Its diameter varies from about six millimeters in some species to more than
ninety centimeters in the giant varieties of Australia. Like corals, hydras, and jellyfish, sea
anemones are coelenterates. They can move slowly, but more often they attach the lower part
of their cylindrical bodies to rocks, shells, or wharf pilings. The upper end of the sea anemone
has a mouth surrounded by tentacles that the animal uses to capture its food. Stinging cells in
the tentacles throw out tiny poison threads that paralyze other small sea animals. The tentacles
then drag this prey into the sea anemone's mouth. The food is digested in the large inner body
cavity. When disturbed a sea anemone retracts its tentacles and shortens its body so that it
resembles a lump on a rock. Anemones may reproduce by forming eggs, dividing in half or
developing buds that grow and break off as independent animals.

1. The word "shape" in line 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?

Steamships were first introduced in 1807, and John Molson built the first steamship in
Canada (then called British North AmericA. in 1809. By the 1830's dozzens 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 mid-nineteenth century.

6.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To contrast travel by steamship and stagecoach
B. To criticize the level of public debt in nineteenth-century Canada
C. To describe the introduction of steamships in Canada

9. According to the passage, when was the Welland Canal opened'?

A. 1807
B. 1809
C. 1825
D. 1829

10. The word "sum" in line 10 is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. Size
B. Cost

Archaeology is a source of history, not just a humble auxiliary discipline. Archaeological

data are historical documents in their own right, not mere illustrations to written texts. Just as
much as any other historian, an archaeologist studies and tries to reconstitute the process that
has created the human world in which we live-and us ourselves in so far as we are each
creatures of our age and social environment. Archaeological data are all changes in the
material world resulting from human action or, more succinctly, the fossilized results of
human behavior. The sum total of these constitute what may be called the archaeological
record. This record exhibits certain peculiarities and deficiencies the consequences of which
produce a rather superficial contrast between archaeological history and the more familiar
kind based upon written records.
Not all human behavior fossilizes. The words I utter and you hear as vibrations in the air
are certainly human changes in the material world and may be of great historical significance.
Yet they leave no sort of trace in the archaeological records unless they are captured by a
dictaphone or written down by a clerk. The movement of troops on the battlefield may
"change the course of history", but this is equally ephemeral from the archaeologist's
standpoint. What is perhaps worse, most organic materials are perishable. Everything made of
wood, hide wool, linen, grass hair, and similar materials will decay and vanish in dust in a
few years or centuries, save under very exceptional conditions. In a relatively brief period the
archaeological record is reduced to mere scraps of stone, bone, glass, metal, and earthenware.
Still modern archaeology, by applying appropriate techniques and comparative methods,
aided by a few lucky finds from peat bogs, deserts, and frozen soils, is able to fill up a good
deal of the gap.

11. What is the author's main purpose in the passage?

A. To point out the importance of recent advances in archaeology
B. To describe an archaeologist' 5 education
C. To explain how archaeology is a source of history
D. To encourage more people to become archaeologists

12. According to the passage, the archaeological record consists of

A. spoken words of great historical significance
B. the fossilize results of human activity
C. organic materials
D. ephemeral ideas

13. The word "they" in line 13 refers to

A. scraps
B. words
C. troops
D. humans

14. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an example of an organic material?

A. Stone
B. Wool
C. Grass
D. Hair

Text 4

Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their
individuality. Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their
creative spirit. At the beginning there was no exacting technique, no foundation from which to
build. In later years trial, error, and genius founded the techniques and the principles of the
movement. Eventually, innovators even drew from what they considered the dread ballet, but
first they had to discard all that was academic so that the new could be discovered. The
beginnings of modern dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first
person to bring the new dance to general audiences and see it accepted and acclaimed.
Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature. She believed movement should
be as natural as the swaying of the trees and the rolling waves of the sea, and should be in
harmony with the movements of the Earth. Her great contributions are in three areas.
First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movements that could be used in dance.
Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concert. In the ballet
the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity shown by complicated, codified positions
and movements. Duncan performed dance by using all her body in the freest possible way.
Her dance stemmed from her soul and spirit. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition
so others might be able to develop the art.
Her second contribution lies in dance costume. She discarded corset, ballet shoes, and
stiff costumes. These were replaced, with flowing Grecian tunies, bare feet, and unbound hair.
She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this
ideal. Her third contribution was in the use of music. In her performances she used the
symphonies of great masters, including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual
custom. She was as exciting and eccentric in her personal life as in her dance.

16.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Evolution of Dance in the Twentieth Century
B. Artists of the Last Century
C. Natural Movement in Dance
D. A Pioneer in Modern Dance

17. According to the passage, what did nature represent to Isadora Duncan?
A. Something to conquer
B. A model for movement
C. A place to find peace
D. A symbol of disorder

15
18. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as an area of dance that Isadora
Duncan worked to change?
A. The music
B. The stage sets
C. Costumes
D. Movements

19.Compared to those of the ballet. Isadora Duncan's costumes were less

A. costly
B. colorful
C. graceful
D. restrictive

20.What does the paragraph following the passage most probably discuss?
A. Isadora Duncan 5 further contribution to modem dance
B. The music customarily used in ballet
C. Other aspects of Isadora Duncan's life
D. Audience acceptance of the new form of dance

Text 5
The theory of plate tectonics describes the motions of the lithosphere, the comparatively
rigid outer layer of the Earth that includes all the crust and part of the underlying mantle. The
lithosphere is divided into a few dozen plates of various sizes and shapes, in general the plates
are in motion with respect to one another. A mid-ocean ridge is a boundary between plates
where new lithospheric material is injected from below. As the plates diverge from a mid-
ocean ridge they slide on a more yielding layer at the base of the lithosphere.
Since the size of the Earth is essentialy constant, new lithosphere can be created at the
mid-ocean ridges only if an equal amount of lithospheric material is consumed elsewhere. The
site of this destruction is another kind of plate boundary: a subduction zone. There one plate
dives under the edge of another and is reincorporated into the mantle. Both kinds of plate
boundary are associated with fault systems, earthquakes and volcanism, but the kinds of
geologic activity observed at the two boundaries are quite different.
The idea of sea-floor spreading actually preceded the theory of plate tectonics. In its
original version, in the early 1960,s, it described the creation and destruction of the ocean
floor, but it did not specify rigid lithospheric plates. The hypothesis was substantiated soon
afterward by the discovery that periodic reversals of the Earth' $ magnetic field are recorded
in the oceanic crust. As magma rises under the mid-ocean ridge, ferromagnetic minerals in the
magma become magnetized in the direction of the geomagnetic field. When the magma cooks
and solidifies, the direction and the polarity of the field are preserved in the magnetized
volcanic rock. Reversals of the field give rise to a series of magnetic stripes running parallel
to the axis of the rift. The oceanic crust thus serves as a magnetic tape recording of the history
of the geomagnetic field that can be dated independently the width of the stripes indicates the
rate of the sea-floor spreading.

21. What is the main topic of the passage?

A. Magnetic field reversal
B. The formation of magma
C. The location of mid-ocean ridges
D. Plate tectonic theory

likely to be true?
A. It is a relatively inflexible layer of the Earth
B. It is made up entirely of volcanic ash
C. It includes the crust and some of the mantle of the Earth
D. It is divided into plates of various shapes and sizes

25. What does the author imply about the periodic reversal of the Earth's magnetic field?
A. It is inexplicable

Beads were probably the first durable ornaments humans possessed, and the intimate
relationship they had with their owners is reflected in the fact that beads are among the most
common items found in ancient archaeological sites. In the past, as today, men, women, and
children adorned themselves with beads. In some cultures still, certain beads are often worn
from birth until death, and then are buried with their owners for the afterlife. Abrasion due to
daily wear alters the surface features of beads, and if they are buried for long, the effects of
corrosion can further change their appearance. Thus, interest is imparted to the bead both by
use and the effects of time.
Besides their wearability, either as jewelry or incorporated into articles of attire, beads
possess the desirable characteristics of every collectible, they are durable, portable, available
in infinite variety, and often valuable in their original cultural context as well as in today's
market. Pleasing to look at and touch, beads come in shapes, colors, and materials that almost
compel one to handle them and to sort them.
Beads are miniature bundles of secrets waiting to be revealed: their history, manufacture,
cultural context, economic role, and ornamental use are all points of information one hopes to
unravel. Even the most mundane beads may have traveled great distances and been exposed
to many human experiences. The bead researcher must gather information from many diverse
fields. In addition to having to be a generalist while specializing in what may seem to be a
narrow field, the researcher is faced with the problem of primary materials that have little or

17
 no documentation. Many ancient beads that are of ethnographic interest have often been
separated from their original cultural context.
The special attractions of beads contribute to the uniqueness of bead research. While
often regarded as the "small change of civilizations", beads are a part of every culture, and
they can often be used to date archaeological sites and to designate the degree of mercantile,
technological, and cultural sophistication.

Perhaps the most striking quality of satiric literature is its freshness, its originality of
perspective. Satire rarely offers original ideas. Instead it presents the familiar in a new form.
Satirists do not offer the world new philosophies. What they do is look at familiar conditions
from a perspective that makes these conditions seem foolish, harmful or affected. Satire jars
us out of complacence into a pleasantly shocked realization that many of the values we
unquestioningly accept are false. Don Quixote makes chivalry seem absurd, Brave New
World ridicules the pretensions of science, A Modest proposal dramatizes starvation by
advocating cannibalism. None of these ideas is original. Chivalry was suspect before
Cervantes, humanists objected to the claims of pure science before Aldous Huxley and people
were aware of famine before Swift. It was not the originality of the idea that made these

18
 satires popular. It was the manner of expression the satiric method that made them interesting
and entertaining. Satires are read because they are aesthetically satisfying works of art, not
because they are morally wholesome or ethically instructive. They are stimulating and
refreshing because with commonsense briskness they brush away illusions and secondhand
opinions. With spontaneous irreverence, satire rearranges perspectives, scrambles familiar
objects into incongruous juxtaposition and speaks in a personal idiom instead of abstract
platitude.
Satire exists because there is need for it. It has lived because readers appreciate a
refreshing stimulus, an irreverent reminder that they lived in a world of platitudinous
thinking, cheap moralizing, and foolish philosophy. Satire serves to prod people into an
awareness of truth though rarely to any action on behalf of truth. Satire tends to remind
people that much of what they see, hear, and read in popular media is sanctimonious,
sentimental, and only partially true. Life resembles in only a slight degree the popular image
of it. Soldiers rarely hold the ideals that movies attribute to them, nor do ordinary citizens
devote their lives to unselfish service of humanity. Intelligent people know these things but
tend to forget them when they do not hear them expressed.
