PASSAGE A (1.5 pts)
Thomas Edison, an inventor of the late 1800's, always said that the phonograph was his only real discovery,
the only invention he stumbled upon rather than deliberately set out to find. Having invented it, he then had to find a
use for it. Musical entertainment was one of the first uses he predicted for the phonograph, although it was by no
means the only one. The inventor claimed that it would change education, politics, and business communication, in
addition to providing entertainment. Edison also thought it could be adapted for phonographic books for people with
visual impairments, for the teaching of public speaking, and for talking clocks.
It was thought that the phonograph could be used to save telephone messages, and the ability to record
speech opened up several commercial uses. Chief among these was its employment as a dictating machine for people
in business. A talking machine could be used to replace the tedious exchange of letters with the recorded message of
the speaker on a phonograph cylinder. The inventor hoped that the cylinder could be sent through the mail with the
ease of a letter. The advantage was that the recipient got an exact record of the sender's message as it was dictated,
substituting a sound recording for correspondence. The paperless business office was anticipated well before the
advent of personal computers and modems.
Edison hoped that the phonograph would transform office work. The electric light, telephone, and
typewriter were slowly changing the way business was conducted in the United States, facilitating the task of
managing the larger business organization of the late nineteenth century. When used as a dictating machine, the
phonograph promised to further ease the burden of business administration by mechanizing correspondence. The
device that had begun as a complement to the telephone was now seen as an adjunct to the typewriter.
At the same time that Edison was imagining the phonograph as the ultimate business tool, he also made a
prophetic statement about its future. “This machine,” he wrote in 1878, shortly after the clamor surrounding the
invention had died down, “can only be built on the American principle of interchangeability of parts, like a sewing
machine.” Edison had grasped the idea of mass production using standardized parts.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The discovery and potential uses of the phonograph
B. Various inventions of Thomas Edison
C. Office technology in the United States in the late 1800's
D. The impact of the telephone on businesses
2. The author uses the phrase stumbled upon in the passage to indicate that Edison's invention of the phonograph was ___.
A. accidental B. disorganized C. important D. popular
3. The word one in line 4 refers to _____.
A. Edison B. phonograph C. uses D. entertainment
4. According to the passage, Edison believed the phonograph could be used to improve all of the following EXCEPT ____.
A. business communication B. musical entertainment
C. speed of mail delivery D. education
5. The author mentions “The electric light, telephone, and typewriter” in paragraph 3 in order to _____.
A. show how office work was organized in the late 1800's
B. indicate problems that existed in offices in the late 1800's
C. provide examples of inventions that improved office efficiency in the late 1800's
D. point out accomplishments of offices in the late 1800's
6. According to the passage, Edison believed that the phonograph could be used by business to _____.

PASSAGE B (1.5 pt)
Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the
future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile engines have
already been developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas,
methanol, steam, hydrogen, and program. Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable
source of current is available, transportation experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday
life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes, and trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing
on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public charging facilities will need to be
as common as today‟s gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped
with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they shop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the
use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars.
Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses, and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers
that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their
needs: lights trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will
no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried
by a freeway today.
7. The following electrical vehicles are all mentioned in passage EXCEPT _______.
A. vans B. trains C. planes D. trolleys
8. The autho’s purpose in the passage is to _______.
A. criticize conventional vehicles
B. support the invention of electric cars
C. narrate a story about alternative energy vehicles
D. describe the possibilities for transportation in the future
9. The word “compact “in line 6 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. long-range B. inexpensive C. concentrate D. square
10. In the second paragraph the author implies that _______.
A. a dependable source of electric energy will eventually be developed
B. everyday life will stay much in the future
C. a single electric vehicle will eventually replace several models of transportation
D. electric vehicles are not practical for the future
11. According to the passage, public parking lots of the future will be _______.
A. more convenient than they are today B. equipped with charging devices
C. much larger than they are today D. as common as today‟s gas station
12. The word “charging” in this passage refers to _______.
A. electricity B. credit cards C. aggression D. lightening
D. WRITING: Do as directed. (3.5 pts)
