The modern comic strip started out as ammunition in a newspaper
war among giants of the American press in the late nineteenth century. The
first full-color comic strip appeared in January 1894 in the New York World,
owned by Joseph Pulitzer and followed by another full-color comic appeared
5 two years later as the first regular weekly full-color comic in William
Randolph Hearst's rival New York paper, the Morning Journal. Both were
immensely popular, and publishers realized that supplementing the news,
with comic relief boosted the sale of papers. The Morning Journal started
another feature in 1896, the "Yellow Kid," the first continuous comic
10 character in the United States, whose creator, Richard Outcault, had been
lured away from the World by the ambitious Hearst. The "Yellow Kid" was
in many ways a pioneer. Its comic dialogue was the strictly urban farce that
came to characterize later strips, and it introduced the speech balloon inside
the strip, usually placed above the characters' heads.
15 The first strip to incorporate all the elements of later comics was
Rudolph Dirks's "Katzenjammer Kids," based on Wilhelm Busch's Max and
Moritz, a European satire of the nineteenth century. The "Kids" strip, first
published in 1897, served as the prototype for future American strips. It
contained not only speech balloons, but also a continuous cast of characters,
20 and was divided into small regular panels that did away with the larger
panoramic scenes of earlier comics.
Newspaper syndication played a major role in spreading the
popularity of comic strips throughout the country. Though weekly colored
comics came first, daily black-and-white strips were not far behind. The first
25 appeared in the Chicago American in 1904. It was followed by many
imitators, and by 1915 black-and-white comic strips had become a staple of
daily newspapers around the country.

There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient
Greece. The one most widely accepted today assumes that drama evolved
from ritual. The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning,
human beings viewed the natural forces of the world, even the seasonal
5 changes, as unpredictable, and they sought through various means, to
control these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared
to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they
hardened into fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained or
veiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals were
10 abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided
material for art and drama.
Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that
those rites contained the seed of theater because music, dance, masks, and
costumes were almost always used. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be
15 provided for performances, and when the entire community did not
participate, a clear division was usually made between the "acting area" and
the "auditorium." In addition, there were performers, and since considerable
importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites,
religious leaders usually assumed that task. Wearing masks and costumes,
20 they often impersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and
mimed the desired effect-success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the
revival of the Sun-as an actor might. Eventually such dramatic
representations were separated from religious activities.
Another theory traces the theater's origin from the human interest in
25 storytelling. According to it, tales (about the hunt, war, or other feats) are
gradually elaborated at first through the use of impersonation, action, and
dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles
by a different person. A closely related theory traces theater to those dances
that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal
movements and sounds.

11. What does the passage mainly 12. The word "they" in line 5 refers
discuss? to _____.
A. The origins of theater A. seasonal changes
B. The role of ritual in modern B. natural forces
dance C. theories
C. The importance of D. human beings

D. The variety of early religious
activities.

Recent technological advances in manned and unmanned undersea
vehicles along with breakthroughs in satellite technology and computer
equipment have overcome some of the limitations of divers and diving
equipment. Without a vehicle, divers often became sluggish and their mental
5 concentration was limited. Because of undersea pressures that affected their
speech organs, communication among divers was difficult or impossible. But
today, most oceanographers make direct observations by means of
instruments that are lowered into the ocean, from samples taken from the
water, or from photographs made by orbiting satellites. Direct observations
10 of the ocean floor are made not only by divers but also by deep-diving
submarines and aerial photography. Some of the submarines can dive to
depths of more than seven miles and cruise at depths of fifteen thousand
feet. In addition, radio-equipped buoys can be operated by remote control in
order to transmit information back to land-based laboratories, often via
15 satellite, and what particularly important is data about water temperature,
currents and weather.
Satellite photographs can show the distribution of sea ice, oil slicks, and
cloud formations over the ocean. Maps created from satellite pictures can
represent the temperature and the color of the ocean's surface, enabling
20 researchers to study the ocean currents. Furthermore, computers help
oceanographers to collect and analyze data from submarines and satellites.
By creating a model of the ocean's movement and characteristics, scientists
can predict the patterns and possible effects of the ocean on the
environment. Recently, many oceanographers have been relying more on
25 satellites and computers than on research ships or even submarine vehicles
because they can supply a greater range of information more quickly and
more efficiently. Some of mankind's most serious problems, especially those
concerning energy and food, may be solved with the help of observations
made possible by this new technology.

A pilot cannot fly a plane by sight alone, as in many conditions, such
as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an
alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at
determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast
5 nearby planes are moving.
Radar is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to
determine the range, angle, or velocity of objects. It can be used to detect
aircraft, ships, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, weather
formations, and terrain. A radar system consists of a transmitter producing
10 electromagnetic waves in the radio or microwaves domain, a transmitting
antenna, a receiving antenna, as well as a receiver and processor to
determine properties of the object(s). Radio waves, pulsed or continuous,
from the transmitter reflect off the object and return to the receiver, giving
information about the object's location and speed.
15 The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one
shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person
determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio
waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about
300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a short burst of
20 radiation waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves
bounce off objects. By determining the time, they take for the echoes to
return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance
between the radar set and other objects. The word "radar," in fact, gets its
name from the term "radio detection and ranging." "Ranging" is the term for
25 detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being
of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control,
tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms.

31. What is the main topic of this 32. The word "It" in line 7 refers to
passage? ____.
A. Use of radar A. radar
B. Types of radar B. object

Today, the most universally known style of trousers for both men and
women is jeans; these trousers are worn throughout the world on a variety of
occasions and in diverse situations. Also called Levi’s or denims, jeans have an
interesting history, one that is intermixed with the derivations of the words
5 jeans, denims, and Levi’s.
The word “jeans” is derived from the name of the place where a
similar style of pants developed. In the sixteenth century, sailors from Genoa,
Italy, wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers. In a French language, the
word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes; this
10 name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from
this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the
descendants of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.
Similar to the word jeans, the word denim is also derived from a place
name. In the seventeen century, French tailors began making trousers out of a
15 specialized type of cloth that was developed in the city of Nimes, France, and
was known as serge de Nimes. This name for the cloth underwent
transformations, and it eventually developed into today's denim, the material
from which jeans are made and an alternate name for these popular pants.
While the word “Levi’s” actually came from the name of a person rather
20 than a place. In the nineteenth century, immigrant Levi Strauss came to
America and tried his hand at selling heavy canvas to miners taking part in
the hunt for gold in northern California. Strauss intended for this canvas to
be used by mine to make heavy-duty tents. This first endeavor was a failure,
but Strauss later found success when he used the heavy canvas to make
25 indestructible pants for the miners. Levi’s then switched the fabric from
brown canvas to blue denim, creating a style of pants that long outlived him
and today is referred to by his name. A modern-day urban shopper out to
buy some Levi’s is searching for a close relative of the product that Strauss
had developed years earlier.

41. This passage is developed by 42. The word “one” in line 4 refers to
_______. ____.
A. citing an effect and its causes A. jeans
B. explaining history with three B. Levi’s
