IV. READING COMPREHENSION


A. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Although the United States is a large country with many people, the language is
almost the same wherever one goes. There are two reasons for this. One is that people
move around a great deal in the United States. A man may grow up in one part of the
country, go to college in another part, find work in another place, and marry a girl from
still another part of the country. Railroads, airplanes, cars and highways make it easy to
travel in America. Many large companies have branches in different areas of the country
and transfer their workers from one branch to another. The second important factor is
public communication. Movies, radio, and television all have a standard way of speech,
and almost everyone in the United States hears it. There are, however, some words and
expressions more common in one part of the country than in others. Throughout the
history of the United States, large groups of immigrants have come to make their homes

IV. READING COMPREHENSION
A. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Almost every language in the world has dialects and American English is no
exception. At the present time there is an interesting study which is on American speech
habits. This study has shown that different words are frequently used in different parts of
the country to denote the same thing. For example, in the east, Americans use the word
"soda" to denote a soft drink. In some parts of the west, a soft drink is "tonic". Such
differences are usually a source of conversation and sometimes misunderstanding
happens.
Speech and life all over the world have often changed. New words are being used
when new discoveries are made and new concepts are formed. Usage determines what is
correct and what is incorrect. Fifty years ago, it was incorrect to say "It's me." But today
it is acceptable simply because most Americans say that instead of "It's I." People
change, so language changes. What is wrong today may be right tomorrow.

Herman Melville, an American author best known today for his novel Moby Dick, was
actually more popular during his lifetime for some of his other works. He traveled
extensively and used the knowledge gamed during his travels as the basis for his early
novels. In 1837, at the age of eighteen, Melville slimed as a cabin boy on a merchant ship
that was to sail from his Massachusetts home to Liverpool, England. His experiences on
this trip served as a basis for the novel Redburn (1849). In 1841 Melville set out on a
whaling ship headed for the South Seas. After jumping ship in Tahiti, he wandered
around the islands of Tahiti and Moorea. This South Sea island sojourn was a backdrop
to the novel Omoo (1847). After three years away from home, Melville joined up with a
U.S. naval frigate that was returning to the eastern United States around Cape Horn. The
novel White-Jacket (1850) describes this lengthy voyage as a navy seaman. With the
publication of these early adventure novels, Melville developed a strong and loyal
following among readers eager for his tales of exotic places and situations. However, in
1851, with the publication of Moby Dick, Melville's popularity started to diminish. Moby
Dick, on one level the saga of the hunt for the great white whale, was also a heavily
symbolic allegory of the heroic struggle of humanity against the universe. The public
was not ready for Melville's literary metamorphosis from romantic adventure to
philosophical symbolism. It is ironic that the novel that served to diminish Melville's
popularity during his lifetime is the one for which he is best known today.

Swine influenza (also called swine flu, hog flu and pig flu) is an infection of a host
28

animal by any one of several specific types of microscopic organisms called “swine
influenza virus”. A swine influenza virus (SIV) is any strain of the influenza family of
viruses that is usually hosted by (is endemic in) pigs. As of 2009, the known SIV strains
are the influenza C virus and the subtypes of the influenza A virus known as H1N1,
H1N2, H3N1, H3N2 and H2N3. Swine influenza is common in pigs in the mid-western
United States (and occasionally in other states), Mexico, Canada, South America, Europe
(including the UK, Sweden and Italy), Kenya, Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan and other
parts of eastern Asia.
Transmission of swine influenza virus from pigs to humans is not common and does not
always cause human influenza, often only resulting in the production of antibodies in the
blood. The meat of the animal poses no risk of transmitting the virus when properly
cooked. If transmission does cause human influenza, it is called zoonotic swine flu.
People who work with pigs, especially people with intense exposures, are at increased
risk of catching swine flu. In the mid-20th century, identification of influenza subtypes
became possible, this allows accurate diagnosis of transmission to humans. Since then,
fifty confirmed transmissions have been recorded, rarely, these strains of swine flu can
pass from human to human. In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of
influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle
pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort.

The 2009 flu outbreak in humans, known as “swine flu’, is due to a new strain of
influenza A virus subtype H1N1 that contains genes closely related to swine influenza.
The origin of this new strain is unknown. However, the World Organization for Animal
Health (OIE) reports that this strain has not been isolated in pigs. This strain can be
transmitted from human to human, and causes the normal symptoms of influenza.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.

A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire that provides


information concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the best-known
surveys are the Gallup poll and the Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news during
campaigns presidential knows, these polls have become an important part of political life
in the United States.

North Americans are familiar with the many “person on the street” interviews on local
television news shows. While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not
necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of
only those people who appear at a certain location. Thus, such examples can be biased in
favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area
the news people select. Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who
are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may
feel intimidated by a camera. A survey must be based on a precise, representative
sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population.

In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of
questions. An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to
understand it. It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in
interpreting the results. Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased
in order to elicit the type of information desired. Surveys can be indispensable sources of
information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded
accurately.

There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire. Each of these
forms of survey research has its advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high response
rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview
than to throw away a written questionnaire. In addition, an interviewer can go beyond
written questions and probe for a subject’s underlying feelings and reasons. However,
questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent.

Interviews are an imperfect method of choosing the best people for jobs,

problems of selection, as it is commonly practiced is that the forms filled in by

(33)________ at the next stage the interview. Similarly, in the race cases where
interviews are automatic, a candidate with an inadequate form may do surprisingly well.

Reading: Read the passage carefully and then choose the best answer.

good idea to ask them to explain to you what prevented you from beating the other
candidates. Don’t complain about the situation, but ask them to advise you on what you
can do better next time. Perhaps the interviewer disproved of or disagreed with
something you said. Perhaps they just glance at your application and saw something that
made it easy to choose between you and another candidate. Don’t regard it as a failure,
but recognize it as chance to learn more. As long as you don’t worry too much about it
and continue to believe in yourself, you’ll eventually find the chance you’ve been
waiting for. Then your family and friends will be able to congratulate you on your
success!

Marian Anderson’s brilliant singing career began at age six when she sang spirituals at
the Union Baptist Church in her hometown of Philadelphia. She toured Europe in the
1920s, drawing vast acclaim. However, when she returned to the United States she was
still barred from performing on the American operatic stage. After she was prevented
from singing in Washington’s segregated Constitution Hall in 1939, Eleanor Roosevelt
intervened and arranged for Miss Anderson to perform at the Lincoln Memorial. A
crowd of 75,000 people came to watch her sing before the Memorial. Marian Anderson’s
beautiful contralto voice broke down racial barriers, showing white Americans that
blacks had a profound contribution to make to America’s cultural life.
Eventually, in 1955, she became the first African-American singer to perform at New
York’s Metropolitan Opera. In her many years of touring, she had to endure a racism that
forced her to enter concert halls and hotels through service entrances. Her grace under
this stress showed a moral perseverance that paralleled that of the famous Martin Luther
King, Jr.

Marian Anderson’s brilliant singing career began at age six when she sang spirituals at
the Union Baptist Church in her hometown of Philadelphia. She toured Europe in the
1920s, drawing vast acclaim. However, when she returned to the United States she was
still barred from performing on the American operatic stage. After she was prevented

beautiful contralto voice broke down racial barriers, showing white Americans that
blacks had a profound contribution to make to America’s cultural life.
Eventually, in 1955, she became the first African-American singer to perform at New
York’s Metropolitan Opera. In her many years of touring, she had to endure a racism that
forced her to enter concert halls and hotels through service entrances. Her grace under

III. READING I. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on

Marian Anderson’s brilliant singing career began at age six when she sang spirituals at
the Union Baptist Church in her hometown of Philadelphia. She toured Europe in the
1920s, drawing vast acclaim. However, when she returned to the United States she was
still barred from performing on the American operatic stage. After she was prevented
from singing in Washington’s segregated Constitution Hall in 1939, Eleanor Roosevelt
intervened and arranged for Miss Anderson to perform at the Lincoln Memorial. A
crowd of 75,000 people came to watch her sing before the Memorial. Marian Anderson’s
beautiful contralto voice broke down racial barriers, showing white Americans that
blacks had a profound contribution to make to America’s cultural life.
Eventually, in 1955, she became the first African-American singer to perform at New
York’s Metropolitan Opera. In her many years of touring, she had to endure a racism that
forced her to enter concert halls and hotels through service entrances. Her grace under
this stress showed a moral perseverance that paralleled that of the famous Martin Luther
King, Jr.
