correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in one
respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage. Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a
wonderfully plentiful supply of wood.
The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax forest.
Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points. Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees
abounded, and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests. By
the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely
abundant.
The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated. Wood was a foundation
of the economy. Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown in Britain.
Secondly, wood was used as fuel for heating and cooking. Thirdly, it was used as the source of important
industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component of gunpowder; and tannic
acid, used for tanning leather.
The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well. Iron at that time was
produced by heating iron ore with charcoal. Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to
exploit her rich iron mines. But the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was
encouraged and became successful. However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not
follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron. Coke
smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution. In the
early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because their
supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron.
Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The advantages of using wood in the colonies
B. The effects of an abundance of wood on the colonies
C. The roots of the Industrial Revolution D. The difference between charcoal iron and coke iron
Question 37: Which of the following is a common assumption about the forests of North America during the
colonial period?

C. They had little or no economic value. D. They covered the entire continent.
Question 38: The word “abundant” in paragraph 3 is closest meaning to______.
A. redundant B. sufficient C. insufficient D. plentiful
Question 39: According to the passage, by the end of the colonial period, the price of wood in Eastern
cities______. A. rose quickly because wood was becoming so scarce.
B. was much higher than it was in Britain. C. was slightly higher than in previous years.

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 43 to 50.
Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of
communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral
speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language
in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to
resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and
exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or
unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod
signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with
the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also
guide, warn, and instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also
express human thoughts and feelings. (Source: TOEFL Reading)
