Questions 1 to 12 are based on the following passage:

(1) Martin Luther King, Jr., is well known for his work in civil rights and for his many 
famous speeches, among them his moving "I Have a Dream" speech. But fewer people 
know much about King's childhood. M.L., as he was called, was born in 1929, in 
Atlanta, Georgia, at the home of his maternal grandfather. M.L.'s grandfather, the 
(5) Reverend A.D. Williams, purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909, 20 years 
before M.L. was born The Reverend Williams, an eloquent speaker, played an important 
role in the community because so many people's lives centered around the church. He 
allowed his church and his home to be used as a meeting place for a number of 
organizations dedicated to the education and social advancement of blacks. M.L. grew 
(10 up in this atmosphere, with his home being used as a community gathering place, and 
) was no doubt influenced by it.

M.L.'s childhood was not especially eventful. His father was a minister and his mother 
was a musician. He was the second of three children, and he attended all-black schools 
in a black neighborhood. The neighborhood was not poor, however. Auburn Avenue 
was the main artery through a prosperous neighborhood that had come to symbolize 
(15 achievement for Atlanta's black people. It was an area of banks, insurance companies, 
) builders, jewelers, tailors, doctors, lawyers, and other black-owned or black-operated 
businesses and services. Even in the face of Atlanta's segregation, the district thrived. 
Dr. King never forgot the community spirit he had known as a child, nor did he forget 
the racial prejudice that was a seemingly insurmountable barrier that kept black 
Atlantans from mingling with whites.

Questions 13 to 24 are based on the following passage:

(1) Carbohydrates, which are sugars, are an essential part of a healthy diet. They provide 
the main source of energy for the body, and they also function to flavor and sweeten 
foods. Carbohydrates range from simple sugars like glucose to complex sugars such as 
amylose and amylopectin. Nutritionists estimate that carbohydrates should make up 
(5) about one-fourth to one-fifth of a person's diet. This translates to about 75-100 grams of 
carbohydrates per day.

A diet that is deficient in carbohydrates can have an adverse effect on a person's 

health. When the body lacks a sufficient amount of carbohydrates, it must then use its 
protein supplies for energy, a process called gluconeogenesis. However, this results in a 
lack of necessary protein, and further health difficulties may occur. A lack of carbohydrates can also lead
(10 to ketosis, a build-up of ketones in the body that causes 
) fatigue, lethargy, and bad breath.

Questions 5-9

History books record that the first moving picture with sound was The Jazz Singer in
1927. But sound films, or "talkies," did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings.
From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound
effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra;
larger movie theaters could buy sound-effects machines.
Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly the same time as the pictures -called
"synchronized sound" - began soon after the very first movies were shown. With
synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896,
the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was
used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could
become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the
projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence.
A later development was the "sound-on-film" system. Here, sounds were recorded as a series
of marks on celluloid read by optical sensors. These signals would be placed on the film
alongside the images, guaranteeing synchronization. Short feature films were produced in this
way as early as 1922. This system eventually brought us "talking pictures."

5. Why does the author mention "a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra"? 

 To show how badly paid musicians were

 To explain how sound that accompanied early films was made

 To emphasize the role sound effects played in The Jazz Singer

 To refute history books that claim the first movie with sound was made in 1927

6. It can be inferred that 

 most movie theaters had a pianist

 sound-effects machines were common

 orchestras couldn't synchronize sound with the pictures

 gramophones were developed about the same time as moving pictures

7. Why could gramophones be considered ineffective? 

 They were subject to variations in speed.

 They were too large for most movie theaters.

 They couldn't always match the speed of the projector.

 They were newly invented.

8. It can be understood that the synchronization system 

 could be placed alongside the images

 developed at the same time as sound for movies

 was an important development for talking pictures

 was a guarantee that short feature films could be produced

9. It can be inferred that short feature films produced as early as 1922 

 preceded talking pictures

 Put musicians out of work

 were recorded by optical sensors

 were only effective for dialogue sequences
