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 from 31 to 35.
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 Ellington 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 Carnegie Hall in New York City. People began to listen to jazz in the same way, that
they had always listened to classical music.

of the following reasons?

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 from 36 to 42.
Any rock that has cooled and solidified from a molten state is an igneous rock. Therefore, if the
Earth began as a superheated sphere in space, all the rocks making up its crust may well have been
igneous and thus the ancestors of all other rocks. Even today, approximately 95 percent of the entire
crust is igneous. Periodically, molten material wells out of the Earth’s interior to invade the surface

layers or to flow onto the surface itself. This material cools into a wide variety of igneous rocks. In
the molten state, it is called magma as it pushes into the crust and lava when it runs out onto the
surface.
All magma consists basically of a variety of silicate minerals (high in silicon-oxygen
compounds), but the chemical composition of any given flow may differ radically from that of any
other. The resulting igneous rocks will reflect these differences. Igneous rocks also vary in texture
as well as chemistry. Granite, for instance, is a coarse-grained igneous rock whose individual
mineral crystals have formed to a size easily seen by the naked eye. A slow rate of cooling has
allowed the crystals to reach this size. Normally, slow cooling occurs when the crust is invaded by
magma that remains buried well below the surface. Granite may be found on the surface of the
contemporary landscape, but from its coarse texture we know that it must have formed through
slow cooling at a great depth and later been laid bare by erosion. Igneous rocks with this coarse-
grained texture that formed at depth are called plutonic.
On the other hand, if the same magma flows onto the surface and is quickly cooled by the
atmosphere, the resulting rock will be fine-grained and appear quite different from granite, although
the chemical composition will be identical. This kind of rock is called rhyolite. The most finely
grained igneous rock is volcanic glass or obsidian, which has no crystals. Some researchers believe
this is because of rapid cooling; others believe it is because of a lack of water vapor and other gases
in the lava. The black obsidian cliffs of Yellowstone National Park are the result of a lava flow of
basalt running head on into a glacier. Some of the glacier melted on contact, but suddenly there also
appeared a huge black mass of glassy stone.
