Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
It is a characteristic of human nature that people like to get together and have fun, and
people live during America‟s frontier days were no exception. However, because life was
hard and the necessities of day-to-day living took up their time, it was common for recreation
to be combined with activities necessary for survival. One example of such a form of
recreation was logrolling. Many frontier areas were heavily wooded, and in order to settle an
area it was necessary to remove the trees. A settler could cut down the trees alone, but help
was needed to move the cut trees. After a settler had cut a bunch of trees, he would then
invite his neighbors over for a logrolling.
A logrolling is a community event where families got together for a combination of work
and fun. The women would bring food and have a much needed and infrequent opportunity
to relax and chat with friends, the children would play together exuberantly, and the men
would hold lively competitions that involved rolling logs from place to place as quickly as
possible. This was a day of fun for everyone involved, but as its foundation was the need to
clear the land.
Question 36. The expression ‘day-to-day’ in line 3 could best be replaced by which of the
following?
A. daytime B. every day C. day after day D. today
Question 37. According to the passage, what did people have to do first to settle an area?
A. Develop recreation ideas B. Build farms
C. Get rid of the trees D. Invite neighbors over
Question 38. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about a
logrolling?
A. It involved a lot of people. B. It could be enjoyable.
C. There could be a lot of movement. D. It was rather quiet.
Question 39. This passage would probably be assigned reading in which of the following
courses?
A. Forestry B. Environmental Studies
C. Psychology D. History
Question 40. The main idea of the passage is that in America‟s frontier days _________.
A. people combined work with recreation
B. people cleared land by rolling logs
C. it was necessary for early settlers to clear the land
D. a logrolling involved the community
